This is great man! I’m in the Dave McGuire Program, and we do deliberate disfluency and disclosing our stutter as well. I have been slowly building my comfort zone by purposely stuttering in gradually more fearful situations. Recently I exaggerated and stuttered a bit in front of about 10 construction workers, as I asked for directions. This was my biggest one yet so was pretty hyped! However, I find that I spend a lot of energy hesitating to commit and being anxious before stuttering on purpose. It’s like, I know logically that I could stutter on purpose in front of like 20 people a day, but sometimes one person feels like as much as I can do in one day. Do you feel like you burn a lot of energy and focus leading up to stuttering on purpose, due to the anxiety it requires to commit to it? Does that make sense?
