Well maybe they should both be treated at the same time. Or any order I suppose would be effective. Because it’s a whole system and I don’t think it would require a proper order. More like a mix of treating all three sounds effective, but not sure. But I do think if someone has too high of any of the factors, it will make it more difficult to stop stuttering. However I believe there truly are some upsides and downsides to stuttering, and for fluency. The trick is to not attach too much to these benefits and downsides. Because then you will attach to fluency, then miss stuttering. Then miss fluency, and so on and so on. Forever not comfortable with one or the other. A positive view of stuttering maybe is the best one to have because at least you won’t stutter more due to embarrassment about stuttering. Though both can have downsides. A negative view of stuttering makes us feel like we are in battle that we don’t want to be in. But a positive view of stuttering makes us want to be in that battle because it makes us feel like a hero, or like we work harder than other people because we experience stuttering. But maybe the battle doesn’t have to exist at all, and stuttering doesn’t have to have much tangible effect on us. We can observe the stuttering thoughts and let them pass by.
