>Once I realized I stopped stuttering I lost all fear of blocking and hesitating and became totally at ease speaking. Very interesting! I agree with everything you said. So, let's assume that a PWS speaks for one whole day without stuttering on auto-pilot which means that he doesn't apply interventions to gain fluency. **Question**: What attitude does this PWS have to adopt to increase the likelyhood of a relapse? (in your opinion) Answer: to answer this question in my own words it would be the following attitudes: * Once I realize I stopped stuttering, I still won't lose the fear of blocking and hesitating, won't reduce anxiety for stuttering and won't gain confidence to move speech muscles while experiencing anticipatory anxiety * I continue perceiving: 'not paying attention, not caring about or not engaging in stuttering (events)' as difficult, not needed and I-already-have-my-own-way-of-speaking * I continue perceiving: 'moving speech muscles' as difficult * I label/define this whole day of fluency as 'luck' and something that I cannot learn from * Even if I speak fluently, I won't forgive stuttering if it returns so I'll keep my attitude of adopting avoidance behavior if speaking errors return * Conclusion: in my opinion, it could be that 80% of people who outgrow stuttering don't **pay attention** to stuttering while improving their attitude, whereas 20% of people that continue stuttering, speak (more) fluently when not **paying attention** but the moment they do **pay attention** they are back at ground zero, which makes them give up on: 1) aiming for outgrowing stuttering and 2) developing a stoic confident I-don't-care-about-stuttering behavior
