There's one thing I wanna mention and that's phone conversations. The end of that video when I talked about suppressing and just not thinking about the stutter the day after, literally not wasting your time and giving it the time of day, as I said that started to become second nature to me and extended to ignoring any thought I had not just the next day, but the day of the stutter, then even the very moment of the stutter. I just didn't want to feel myself worry about what other people thought of my stutter, the more I gave a damn the more it just brought the tension back up to the forefront and one of the biggest breakthrough's I had was when I realized that mindset extended to phone conversations. Of course probably like most, i used to dread phone convo's because people couldn't see my struggle so i worried if I didn't say something they would think I got disconnected. So I did what I said in the video, I controlled the stutter by saying something, in my case it was just repeating a word but an easy one that I can control that I don't need to push through hard (the word before the actual word I am blocking on) the goal was just not to get fatigued and tired out. This "stutter" of just repeating that word nice and easy also served the purpose of letting them know I'm still there. Now the key here was that i DIDN'T CARE what they thought of my stutter, of me repeating the word (even if I did care I forced myself not to worry or think about that) . I was just doing what I do in real life, saying something waiting for the unblock but during the whole time I'm just thinking of what i want to say in this convo, what I want to order maybe, how it'll taste, anything but NOT how I might look to them, or not what they might think of me as I go through this stutter. I was just like screw it people can think what they want I'm just excited for the block to unlock so to speak like it always does so I can pick out my food or what ever the call is about. Again the point is just not to tire yourself or get a little winded from trying to push the word out, just leave plenty of energy for yourself because there is no need to tire over a pause is what I thought. So a phone conversation became like a real life one, I didn't allow the thought in the back of my mind of what they must think of me to come forward, it was like second nature not to give the fear of my stutter the time of day anymore and so even in a phone conversation the mindset of not thinking about it worked. And after enough practice it extended to any stressful situation. So I just wanted to clarify that it did indeed extend to what used to be such a different situation for me when I would talk over the phone vs real life.
