>how would you describe stuttering? perhaps my description is an issue where one is attracted to monitoring / evaluating one's speech errors emotionally and feeling satisfied to block articulators / diaphragm for that reason. PWS use the **right hemisphere** more often than non-stutterers. The **right-hemisphere** handles: emotions, non-verbal cues, intuition, holistic thinking and imagination. What is your interpretation of these handles? My **interpretation** of these handles are: Intuition could be stutter anticipation. Holistic thinking could be monitoring / intervening where one controls the whole speech process Imagination could be where one perceives probabilities and evaluates: feared letters/situations, which is story-telling (and assuming) Non-stutterers use the **left hemisphere** more often which handles: facts, thinking in words and linear thinking. What is your interpretation of this? My **interpretation** is: Facts could be: letters are just letters without meaning Thinking in words could mean that non-stutterers focus more on what they say, instead of focusing on the imagination or feeling (feared letters or fight or flight response) Linear thinking could be systemetic step-by-step progress, where one sets the problem (inability to breathe out during a block) as the starting point that follows a sequence of connected series, ultimately leading to a solution. **Conclusion**: So, in my opinion it's more effective if PWS: * feel less emotions regarding blocks * think more about what to say than how to unblock * focus on the decision instead of monitoring/evaluating. Focus on the decision to breathe out during a block without reason for example by telling yourself: 'instinctive breathing out doesn't need a reason, so I don't care' * don't pay attention to stutter thoughts and feelings
