thanks for your comment! >A few other tips is going make eye contact and begin on a normal exhale. Also, practice voluntary repetitions Are you maybe able to elaborate on these points? What is exactly the idea behind this?What are voluntary repetitions exactly? Stuttering on purpose? Pretending to actually stutter, or? I've been stuttering my whole life, but never looked for answers because I already felt so helpless and depressed. A few years ago I defeated a serious panic-disorder by 100% facing it, allowing it 100% freedom to kill me. This made me realize how powerful surrendering is, and how much WE OURSELVES put ourselves into very difficult situations due to US believing in our fears. I 100% believe my stutter is fear-based. I don't stutter when I talk to my dog or talk to myself loudly. It's literally only whenever I have to talk to humans that I stutter and get all anxious. I'm so amazed I literally am able to tell myself: STOP, DO NOT REPEAT, MOVE ON to the next syllable, word or part. It's going incredibly well between me and my wife. Whenever my speech wants to repeat (as in stutter), I quickly tell myself, NO, MOVE ON. And it's amazing to me. Obviously, it's such a new approach and it takes a lot of time for this to be come automatic, but I feel it's possible. Just like my panic-disorder, I never ever ever thought I would come out of that alive. Literally. That learned me so much about anxiety/fear, which I'm thankful for, retrospectively. I'll catch myself wanting to repeat a letter or syllable or word, and quickly just cut myself off from doing so, and just move on to the next thing in line. It takes a lot of practice to do it ALL the time, because you're quick to FORGET to do it when you're talking to another person. So you kinda have to multi-task for a bit, until it becomes automatic. Thanks so much.
