To stutter on purpose. The reasons to do this, as it has been discussed it can be used for desensitize; that is to reduce fear and when stuttering moments occur, it will allow you to react to these in a more positive manner. For me, it also allows me to control my stutter, instead of my stutter controlling me. Stuttering on my own terms. Showing it, "you dont have power of my emotions". I sometimes voluntary stutter in the midst of a real block, just to show my stutter who is boss! It has helped me.
