>any advice would be greatly appreciated **Tips to improve stuttering:** What thoughts and feelings do you currently have? (compared to before you stuttered)? In my experience, if I don't stutter then I focus on daily activites and I think more about what I will say If I stutter, then I experience that I think more about: * I want to speak fluently but I don't know how * I want to constantly feel, track and monitor my speech muscles and the outcome of my speech * I need to constantly hear how I'm speaking to search for any speech errors * I feel emotions if I stutter that are caused by desiring fluency when fluency didn't happen * I fear or expect that stuttering will return when I speak fluently, so I fear that this will lead to the listener walking away or misunderstanding me * When I'm blocking I tell myself that I should have been more aware or careful, then I start overthinking * I need to constantly analyze '*feared letters*' in my mind to **decide** if I can or can't move my speech muscles * During a trigger (or block) I have the impression that my speech muscles got stuck making me believe that I can't move my speech muscles (this intrusive thought about holding back speech in combination with the unhelpful condition: '*I need to wait out* ***deciding*** *to move speech muscles*' then leads to stopping with sending command signals to the speech muscles and then it ends with a speech block)
