I see. So to sum up what you said: **Situation:** I stutter on a letter I haven't done before **Obsession (trigger):** "I will do compulsion" Note: read [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WAdyTN__wCGuDqHa5ygUuTxZDjmN5A5L/view?usp=sharing) to see what our stutter compulsion is exactly. However, in my experience with my stammering, my main compulsive response is: **inability to move articulators** **Attachment (reacting to trigger):** you make this trigger **more** real in your mind by doing: * saying the word in my head or mouthing it 'as if the trigger is true or real' * reassurance-seeking to check if trigger is true * fight or flight response (like fear) 'as if the trigger is real and fearful' **"Do you have any ideas how to overcome OCD habit? How do I not obsess with it?"** I suggest three things. Firstly, you can try this: **Incorrect perspective/response to trigger:** saying the word in my head or mouthing it 'as if the trigger is true or real' **Correct perspective/response to trigger**: intervene when you notice doing this. Instead of observing/focusing on 'saying in your head or mouthing', just observe your trigger without reacting while not doing compulsion. If you feel disappointed whenever you stutter, then make a condition to yourself (promise) that stuttering won't bother you anymore while choosing to speak without compulsion. **Incorrect perspective/response to trigger:** reassurance-seeking to check if trigger is true **Correct perspective/response to trigger**: let go of control (of your speech mechanism) and just put trust in your body to automatically and naturally speak without compulsion. So don't measure your progress of fluency, you have only one job one task, which is, to observe your trigger without reacting to it in order to become resilient against it and to detach importance from the trigger which leads to disconfirming expectancy. **Incorrect perspective/response to trigger**: fight or flight response (like fear) 'as if the trigger is real and fearful' **Correct perspective/response to trigger**: intervene, stop speaking, let go of fight or flight response, calm and relax yourself, don't deliberately predict/justify/choose compulsion and then continue speaking ​ Secondly, I suggest to read [how to approach stutter triggers here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/xr6luy/tips_for_people_who_stutter_advice_on_how_to/). Then finally do the exercises at the bottom of that page. Thirdly, I suggest to do [these exercises](https://drive.google.com/file/d/14glp3PNT5c5yhA8DLXkDJEFHGvEQvN7a/view?usp=sharing): 1. [analyzing your mindset](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jOsTp24LAi1k_VWeDwIlrojWZDV9wNDa/view?usp=sharing), 2. setting rules and 3. doing exercises to tackle the psychological part of stuttering ​ Conclusion: The end result of these exercises is to gradually apply less and less response/perspective of the old stutter habit. See [this PDF document](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d8xZ4xb1DuZ__lmIWyT-oXQaJlArA8_K/view?usp=sharing) here that explains it better. Most people who stutter (PWS) on reddit are chronic stutterers which you see in the **last table** (in the PDF document). The goal of these exercises is to gradually go up a table until we are not chronic stutterers anymore (which is the **first table**).
