Also want to share my comments here for timestamps to look out for where I clarify just a few things in the comments: At around 21:30 minutes in I mention how it might not work for the hardest times but I meant to say "at first" because as I got used to catching myself and working on it on the day to day and not worrying or dwelling on the stutter itself, I got more used to and more comfortable with the outcome so it began working on what I thought where the more difficult situations and I began to feel more confident along the way. I was never afraid of the worst case difficulties any longer since I lived with it all my life so to me the glass became always half full as they say, rather than half empty. And it got easier ever since as well as acceptance and confidence in who I am. 22:22 - at this time I was about to talk about talking slow consistently from what I received from the older speech therapy techniques decades ago (not the same speech therapy as today, much more focus on acceptance rather than shaping how you talk) verses just talking with a change in pace or with spacing for example in the moment of a difficult stutter but I ended up totally going off track and forgot to come back to this. I mentioned it in other videos and it's not really a big deal to compare them anyway..the point simply was meant to be that I do not consider it necessary to talk with spacing or talk slowly consistently but it can have an impact in the moment and if I feel I've reached too deep and am really in the block, letting it go by going back a few words combined with changing a pace and spacing of words can snap me out of it to continue on, although keep in mind the heart palpitations feeling like you skipped a beat and anxiety blip could take a little longer to subside even after finding fluency. Also, though I stress it might not work in the hardest times, most times they do work in very hard times, I am just afraid again that people will want a be all end all technique and these ideas may not satisfy every moment in life but it can still help even on times like my recording yesterday if I hadn't been so impatient and fallen into the habitual pushing pattern you could probably hear explicitly from the stutter recordings in part 2 of this series.
