>Blocking is actually a more “severe” form of stuttering. It happens bc you are so fearful of ppl hearing your repetitions, you try very hard (too hard!) to hide them. That causes the block. I'm open to this idea but I have \*literally\* never stuttered in the conventional sense. I've only ever blocked. That's why it doesn't quite make sense to me. >Tim Mackesey, SLP, has a free podcast. I enjoy podcasts and will definitely check it out.
