Yes correct, our unhelpful habit is to turn off our triggers which, as we know, results in 'trying' (to operate the feedforward system) which will only enable us to pay more attention to sensory feedback maintaining the stutter cycle. This unhelpful habit is partly due to our unhelpful attitude: * to depend on stuttering anticipation and positive feelings (like a comfortable confident fluency feeling) * to blame the freeze effect on: 'stuttering anticipation and strong feelings' This is also due to our unhelpful belief: * that we are not able to activate the feedforward system (which is not true) * that our feedforward system is unreliable (which, of course, is not true) * that focusing on: 'stuttering anticipation and strong feelings', reinforces the freeze effect (which is not true, rather it's the fact that we engage in the unhelpful belief/attitude that make us intolerent against and react to these triggers). I suggest to observe the anticipation and strong feelings while focusing on deciding/instructing the movement of your speech muscles - by exposing yourself to these stimuli, your instinct then learns that your feedforward system is actually reliable * that removing: 'stuttering anticipation and strong feelings', is considered a success in order to speak - which is not true, rather it's the exact opposite, that fluency/stuttering are both not considered success/failure. Likely, the best thing to consider a success is speaking directly and naturally without: (1) tracking whether the outcome of our speech was pronounced correctly and, (2) needing or waiting out for anticipation or positive feelings while we focus on deciding/instructing to move our speech muscles
