I have a good Movie analogy: When you go to a Movie, you let yourself get drawn in. With a movie you use two senses: * seeing and * hearing If your senses or the soundtrack don't synchronize with the movie scenes, you would remain very aware that you were sitting in a theater and that something was wrong. But because soundtracks and scenes normally synchronize perfectly, movies capture your awareness and you **forget** that you’re sitting in the theater. You **forget** your personal thoughts and emotions, and your consciousness gets pulled into the film. It’s actually quite phenomenal to contemplate the difference between the experience of sitting next to strangers in a cold, dark theater versus being so absorbed in the movie that you are totally unaware of your surroundings. We sometimes stutter and sometimes we speak fluently. Sometimes we might **forget**, if we are totally interested in the conversation, focus on our listener (instead of feared words), focus on what we say (instead of how we say it), and think about how this will make the listener happier and even if it doesn't, we just visualize the best outcome that we want. I think that if we learn to be immersed in this new positive mentality, that we automatically stop thinking about stuttering (or, thinking about the cold, dark theater). Your thoughts?
