>You said: "So if we priotize forward flow of speech over accurate error free speech we may lead to stutter remission." Yes, at least it can lead to fluent speech just like when we do choral speaking. Stuttering remission (long-term subconscious fluency) probably requires excellent control of our defensive mechanism that prevents the execution of speech plans, I think > I think that's what happen when I'm Exhilarated to talk to someone like my friends - I don't perceive threats. So, what you said about 'needing exhileration resulting in fluency', I don't consider this stuttering remission or subconscious fluency. I view this as 'controlled fluency' because you are managing fluency by meeting a self-imposed demand (or 'rule') which is in this case: I need to increase feeling exhilerated to speak more fluently. But now, the question is, why do we need to feel more exhilerated? Why should we self-impose this rule? Because this makes speech 'controlled' rather than 'subconscious'. Non-stutterers also don't have a rule or condition like 'I need to feel exhilerated or feel confident enough' so that the defensive mechanism allows the execution/release of speech plans (or words/sounds) Conclusion: So, I'm trying to say is, that I completely disagree that we should rely on self-imposed demands. So, I think that we should NOT increase feeling exhilerated or whatever other rules you believe that you need. All those rules that we 'learned' to add, are don't actually increase subcnoscious fluency, it only decreases it. Those rules lead to imaging more doubt and possibility to stutter. So, we need to let go of these unnecessary rules. In other words, we need to unlearn 'relying on such rules'. Relying on rules is a form of 'conditioning'. We need to unlearn conditioning, and we need to learn (or allow ourselves) to execute speech plans regardless of fear, anticipation, hesitation or literally any other error that we perceive or 'imagine', at least, I think so.
