**Exercise 1:** * Speak to people (while at the same time you are visualizing that you are speaking alone). If you divide this exercise into 3 or more steps, it enables you to make progression towards subconscious fluency and stuttering remission * Visualizing in itself is not enough, so what I did was to create a 'system' or 'strategy' based on visualizing alone. I suggest to start out 'practicing' this strategy first with your family member and later with anyone else. * **Step 1**: talk to someone with eyes closed while visualizing that you are alone. Speak only yourself while speaking to someone and don't let listener talk. This way you won't get confused that you are actually 'not alone'. The most important core 'learning aspect' is that you learn to recognize the 'fluency feeling' as opposed to the stutter feeling that one normally applies * **Step 2**: talk to someone with eyes open while visualizing that you are alone. Try to make it harder: listener asks you only questions from time to time. Later, increase the difficulty to a dialogue without much emotion and later increase it to a dialogue with emotion. In my experience, when I divided the steps in smaller steps, I was able to eventually speak like a non-stutterer and have normal conversation with anyone. * The most important take-away is that I learn to harness and increase this fluency feeling. * **Step 3**: Don't visualize anymore and speak like a non-stutterer by using this fluency feeling. * In other words: * when I'm speaking with people, before I actually speak I first visualize (imagine) that I'm alone * The key part you need to learn from this strategy is to build an anchor feeling 'of non-stutterer' like when you speak alone and then simulate this feeling when you speak with people and that is how I reached step 3. * In my experience I never stuttered when speaking to someone with eyes closed while visualing I'm alone (step 1). If you can't do step 1, then I highly doubt you can remove stuttering with this technique. This strategy is only effective if you truly don't stutter when you are in a comfortable situation. * If you stutter in step 3 then switch back to step 2. If you stutter in step 2, switch back to step 1. * I think to reach step 3, will take about 3 days. So let me know in 3 days your results. Also, after 3 days I stopped using this strategy of visualizing I'm alone completely, but perhaps (maybe) I could have removed stuttering if I had continued applying this strategy but again that's a maybe. * Step 4 is speaking to someone without visualizing that you are alone, where you only use the anchor (non-stutterer mentality) * then I speak to other people (while visualizing I'm alone) * this is really hard in the beginning, because if they talk back or you see/hear them, then it counters your believe. So you can do this in steps like closing your eyes first or only one-side dialogues * Once I got the hang of it, I was able to speak fluently without technique, completely naturally with people by visualizing that I"m alone **Conclusion**: If I stutter even once in step 2, then I go back to step 1. In my experience I never stutterered in step 1. If I stutter once in step 3, then I returned to step 2. It's not about the technique, it's about the learning process and harnessing this confidence feeling of fluency with this strategy. Of course, every stutterer is different so I suggest to adjust this strategy to your own stutter situation to increase its effectiveness. I found creating 'steps' effective for me because then I can use this confident feeling as an anchor to switch between fluency and stuttering.
