Did you analyze your 'stutter cycle' a little, on average or a lot?

Did you analyze your 'stutter cycle' a little, on average or a lot? According to a study done by Nils Lind with a test group of 5,500 men, women, and children. Stutterers actually performed better on intelligence tests by an average of 22 points ranging from 15 to 29 higher than non stutterers. But it’s not necessarily because of their neurobiology. There’s no set in stone answer as to why we tend to be slightly smarter, but some people hypothesize that it’s because we learn more words to make up for the ones we can’t say. I think that overthinking and being regularly in fight and flight (survival) mode leads to a greater comprehension to read the situation (after all, we are constantly **over analyzing** and over compensating). According to research: Most adults who stutter give up on outgrowing stuttering and the likelihood to outgrow stuttering may increase if we never give up on outgrowing stuttering. In contrast, many therapists and almost all adults who stutter have entirely given up on the idea to outgrow stuttering. Additionally, a PhD researcher stated that adults who have outgrown stuttering - in his personal life - have succeeded by identifying and **analyzing** their [vicious circle](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/11p1vnu/comment/jbvqkq4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) of speech and prioritizing forward flow regardless of any feedback, and to outgrow stuttering as an adult, he recommends to be your own therapist instead of learning tricks and techniques from a speech therapist. **Question**: How much have you identified and **analyzed** your vicious circle of paralyzing your speech muscles (that causes a speech block)?
