Hey, very happy to hear that you're going through so many positive experiences. Sorry, took a while to respond. And yeah, you're right, our brain needs constant reinforcement that stuttering/blocking is ok. So doing the voluntarily stuttering exercises is a good way to check that box. Here's are few more ideas: List your values and principles and see if you uphold them when you're going through tough stuttering interactions. Stutterers often have hard time with their stutter because they lose their authenticity when they start stuttering. They try to become someone else, a fluent, and pleasing version of themselves. The more they try to pose as someone else, the worse they feel. So, do a self-evaluation after a 'bad' stuttering interaction. Did it feel bad because you stuttered? Or because you were't 100% being yourself. (from what you explained, you seem to be authentic in your interactions, so this statement is meant as a general rule to remember) Do rejection challenge for a month. Every week, target 2-3 interactions with strangers and ask them for a favor that you 'know' will get rejected or be severely judged. Here are easy ones to get started: 1. Call starbucks and ask them if they'll give a free refill for a coffee that you purchased last month ... 2. Call a restaurant and ask them if you can go to the kitchen and cook your own food 3. Call a hotel and ask if you can reserve the pool for a midnight pool party, 4. Go to a mall or shopping complex, and start doing push ups around the food court where everyone can watch you while they eat. Get some burpees in for that extra judgement. If pushups are not your thing, read poetry aloud 5. Do vlogs in a crowded place. Say whatever you want to the camera held prominently in front of your face and walk around like you're doing a news report of the place. Rejection/judgement challenge is helpful for people with speech disfluencies because we're subconsciously conditioned to 'please' others. Deliberately putting yourself in situations where you get rejected conditions your brain that pleasing others is not as important. It also reinforces not to let other people's judgement affect our own wellbeing. I'm using most techniques that I learned from Chase Gillis.
