Thanks for your comment! Indeed! First, I was thinking this was just another 'trick', but the more I thought about this approach, is it really trick? I don't think so now. You're simply 'correcting' yourself BEFORE you loop, in order to continue what you initially started. The loop is unnatural, and is obviously (in my case at least) a unnatural fear holding me in the loop. You somewhere 'feel' you need to repeat yourself. "F-f-f-f-f-f-f-ear". F has already been said, move on to EAR. We think "F" is the problem letter which we think we CANNOT pronounce, yet we're actually doing, a zillion times! We just need to remind ourselves (in my case at least) that F has been said once already, and to move on to EAR. F.ear. You're 'simply' telling yourself to 'STOP' when you feel the need to loop, and then consciously telling yourself to GO ON to the next thing, as you already prounced the 'problem'. The looping is unnatural, and might in itself be a 'trick' once learned which has become automatic. Something which has to be unlearned after maaaany years of repeating this pattern. The "GO ON" method, which promotes the natural course of speaking, is something we (me at least) need to consciously implement, as long as it takes, for it to become natural. Just like how stuttering (looping) has become natural. I was just mindblown I am literally able to tell myself (in the moment when it happens): STOP, you already said the 'problem word/letter', MOVE ON. It's almost like you disover you don't HAVE to loop. You can consciously choose NOT to loop. My stutter is entirely anxiety-based. And I feel it's entirely the same with people who CAN speak fluently with animals or when alone, yet not with people around. I'm by no means an expert though, and I'm sure there might be other factors playing a part for other people. The only thing holding me personally back now, from implementing this on a larger scale is my own anxiety. It's telling me: but what if you still block or stutter? This is just fear. Once you learnt his "GO ON" thing, you more and more become confident you don't actually HAVE to loop; that you can literally MOVE ON every time. I feel, for me at least, that it's partly a fear problem and partly a automatic process which needs to be unlearned. Like a tic almost. Like a 'safe word' which every so often we use. Just like how people can't stop using the word "Like, like, like" every few words. So, this is also just me rambling, also writing this to MYSELF. Hope all is well. :)
