As a  doctoral candidate in psychology stated: "*Stuttering is not caused by social anxiety. This is a common misconception. Social COGNITION (i.e., when you are thinking how other people are perceiving you, even on a subconscious level) is what interferes with the neural pathways of speech articulation. It is commonly misunderstood as related to anxiety because of course times when one would have social anxiety would be overlapping with situations that would trigger social cognition. In conclusion, doing mental health work (primarily around mindfulness/metacognition), you’ll be able to grow a better awareness of your thoughts and bodily experiences which then can help you both implement tools for social anxiety and stuttering.*" *Update*: Requesting an update: Did you have time to read thru the strategy that led me to stuttering remission? Speech therapy often focuses on reducing/eliminating muscle tension during speech. **My viewpoint**: but muscle tension itself does not lead to the "syllable initiation" problem where speech execution is prevented (in response to conditioned stimuli resulting in the subconscious perceiving conflict). So by default eliminating ALL muscle tension is not effective towards stuttering remission, I'd say, as we are not targeting an element in the stutter cycle of stuttering persistance, if that makes sense. This is my own take on it Speech therapy often focuses on reducing speaking fear, social anxiety and many types of fears, stutter pressure etc. **My viewpoint**: but fear itself does not lead to syllable initiation problem or the approach-avoidance conflict. So, by default, reducing ALL types of fear is ineffective at best towards stuttering remission (the doctoral canditate says something similar as well) Conclusion: So, the tools that speech therapy traditionally offers are eg.: \- the need to reduce tension \- the need to reduce fear \- and many other "additional" interventions The emphasis here is on "additional". This is a problem, I think, as *subconscious fluency* does not need an "addition" of techniques, rather it's more about *"removing interventions that we are relying on specifically to execute the speech plan"* i.e., for syllable initiation or motor execution whichever term you prefer. Now to go back to my strategy, as you have likely read, it's not about: \- adding this and that and this intervention Rather, it's about: \- removing this and that and this intervention specifically to execute the speech plan to say the planned words/sounds. And almost all these interventions that the subconscious is "doing" are deeply subconscious, which as the researcher also has emphasized it's helpful to be very *mindful* so yea, this comment simply provides a glimps on the perspective of my strategy (towards stuttering remission and subconscious fluency). *Question*: Will you try the strategy in the future, or maybe you think it's way too complex?
