The bar keeps getting higher Hello everyone. Recently I've been trying to accept my stutter and remove any techniques or ways to speak fluently. I have blocks and been exposing myself to scary situations. The stutter kinda decreased (it was still very much there) and I had strong confidence. Then I removed more shortcuts to speaking and exposed myself to more situations, yet my stutter became worse. I can handle blocks, but this has gotten to a new level. My blocks are very long now :( Everytime I try to accept it more and telling myself I can handle it, it reaches a new level of more stutter. Anyone any insights?
