I aim for subtracting control because that's the closest thing that non-stutterers do. 'Stuttering' can mean a variety of things from stutter cycle to repetitions, speech blocks or even secondary behaviors. So, shouldn't we resist secondary behaviors or 'techniques'? And what about anticipation that we associated to our body sensations and emotions? How I deal with it is, the compulsive or hardwired thoughts and feelings I let them be in my body without avoiding/reducing them - in order to build tolerance and learn that this sensation of stuttering association is not real or powerful. Usually the first trigger and afterwards the first reaction to the trigger (e.g., panic) are very instinctive and therefore 'resisting them' is counter-productive. However, the thoughts and feelings that come after that belong to 'over-reacting' and over-thinking which are at least - less instinctive. Firstly you can overthink/overreact in order to understand your thinking process or stutter cycle. So that you can create a list of it. Secondly, after a month you can limit, delay or interrupt them. The same goes for unnecessary behaviors - like secondary behaviors (repetitions, tensing body or tensing speech muscles, substituting words, etc) and techniques to 'control' speech.
