Understanding why you are blocking up. The more value you place in another's judgement of you, the more you are going to stutter. Introductions are when the stakes are the highest because: 1. The value you place in the others judgement of you is extremely high 2. They don't know you, so you feel pushed to prove yourself. Because of this you would feel very outcome dependent. "Only if I introduce myself fluently, that means it was a good Introduction" The outcome is if you stutter on not. Often times whether we stutter or not is out of our control because it's just a bi product of the tension inside of us, and we can't control that in the moment. The only way to have less tension (stutter less) is by slow progressive steps that allow yourself to see that you are valued (even if you stutter or not). This is a tangent I could go on for eternity.. but really what I would say to you.. Focus on what is in your control. - your state prior to speaking (mediation, yoga, cardio are huge calmers) - your actions while you are speaking (whether you continue to speak openly even when you stutter or not) - actually showing up and telling yourself you won because you faced fear today. - reflect afterwards Repeat, repeat, repeat. I believe this whole process is about learning to fuel your self worth from things inside of your control rather than if you stutter or other people's reactions. This is just the tip of the iceberg but I hope it helps 🙏
