It's sort of obvious that we might get past a block, if we reduce anticipation, fear, distortions, stop caring, etc - to reduce this stuttering fusion (aka defusion). However, can we also get past a block without such defusion? (in which we are still entirely fused) In other words, Is it possible for PWS (people who stutter) to do all the wrong things - without using defusion - where we are able to reduce the panic response (or defensive mechanism) to say our thoughts out loud?
