My stutter strategy (exactly how non-stutterers speak)

My stutter strategy (exactly how non-stutterers speak) I’m not sure if you’ve tried this before, but here’s a simple observation: if we do nothing, nothing happens — no movement, no sound. Humans must subconsciously tell the brain when to start moving: the legs, the arms, and the speech muscles. In other words, executing speech requires a kind of subconscious “**instruction**” that signals the brain to begin the motor sequence. However — as you already noted — many people substitute that subconscious instruction with force, tension, anticipation, or other compensatory strategies to get speech going. Those behaviors aren’t necessary for executing the speech plan, nor are they laws of fluency; they’re extra unnecessary unhelpful steps. At best it leads to controlled fluency (over subconscious fluency); at worst they replace the fluency law 'subconsciously instructing' resulting in stuttered speech production. Here’s an experiment I’d like you to try: make a long list (50–100 items) of what your subconscious mind NEED (in order) to execute the speech plan. Examples might include: * “My subconscious needs to increase a certain amount of tension/force to start speaking.” * “My subconscious needs to reduce fear of stuttering, judgement, or anticipation in order for speech to proceed.” * “My subconscious needs more confidence or self-esteem to allow speech to continue.” Have you tried creating a list like this? Then, during speech, try replacing those items with the simple fluency law: “subconsciously instructing” to execute the speech plan — the EXACT same kind of instruction people use subconsciously to move their arms or legs (if you do it any other way, it's wrong and it becomes controlled fluency over subconscious fluency; which is what we do not want towards stuttering remission). In short: instead of relying on increased or decreased tension, fear-reduction, or other compensations, practice giving the brain a clean subconscious cue to start the speech movements (i.e., a ready-signal or GO-signal) - exactly as non-stutterers do; exactly as how YOU would instruct your arms and legs to start moving (i.e., subconsciously, without effort, naturally). Give this a focused try for a week, notice what changes, and tell me what you observe after a week. Attached is an Word table I created with some examples, but every person is unique so you need to find your own unique approach-avoidance "items" in this list https://preview.redd.it/j9wdsjsoo9tf1.png?width=2918&format=png&auto=webp&s=84acf63b50e05fa32f076b2843eb3ec037f57eb1 Here is the [screenshot](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JPDRfTQrmHXDqIE3yrzukwu_-vq8mQDL/view?usp=sharing).
