Thank you! This is my attempt to summarize your comment. Helpful interventions: * don't beat yourself up because of stuttering * think about and analyze why you stuttered and how you stuttered * don't associate negative connotation with stuttering * tell yourself it is OK to stutter * stutter voluntarily on feared words Because these interventions can address: * perceiving stuttering as less harmful * reducing the [freeze](https://i.imgur.com/zjQDw3E.png) response * breaking the anxiety loop * weakening the [conditioned response](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22conditioned+response%22+%22stuttering%22) due to linking stuttering + social situation with a negative outcome * calming down and enabling focusing on WHAT to say rather than how to get past a block
