Thank you for mentioning that you would read an whole essay on my strategy (from the post). >*"How has your progress been and have you encountered any hiccups of any kind?"* My progress has been improving slowly and steadily. I consider progress, when I distinguish elements from the stutter cycle from one another (*e.g., distinguishing certain triggers from its unhelpful responses*). I consider it progress if I learn new knowledge about what I can and cannot learn to control. My progress almost always includes a form of mindfully observing "*how I block*" and then mindfully observing what happens within my mind and body. Additionally, I found that I experienced different types of blocking with my own stutter disorder, however, it seems that right now in this stutter stage, that I only have one 'type of blocking' remaining.. which I am working on now. I noticed this [research link](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2350093/) (written by Del Ferro) in your chat history. In my experience, I actually did the Del Ferro therapy/method. Does that mean (since you posted that link) that you also did the Del Ferro therapy whereby you move your hand up and down in front of your chest, while visualizing the movement of the diaphragm? In my experience, I don't stutter when I apply the Del Ferro breathing method, and everyone that was in my group therapy also didn't stutter with it. Did you have a similar experience? However, I couldn't maintain this strategy in real life when I got home so I stopped using it. Regarding the post, do you experience that you demand or need to wait out articulatory tension in order to instruct to execute motor speech movements? If yes, do you stop stuttering, if you replace the conditional instruction: "waiting out articulatory tension" with "immediately instructing execution of motor movements whenever I have placed the starting articulatory position"? In my experience, yes indeed, I don't stutter if I replace "*waiting out articulatory tension*" with "*immediately instructing whenever I have established my articulatory position*"
