My advice would be to observe number 3 and 4 (anticipating your name)(building pressure in anticipation) and then learn to not react to it. Just recognize these triggers (which is called acceptance) are in your mind (don't ignore them) and just speak and speak without reacting to these discomfortable triggers. According to ERP, acceptance doesn't mean to be okay with the trigger (because then you are making the trigger important, you give it power). It's about not having an opinion about the trigger (which is letting go). If you distract yourself from the trigger, then you don't build resilience against the trigger (which is the goal of ERP). I hope this helps! ​ I agree with number 1. Replace your goal 'not stuttering' with 'building resilience against trigger'. It's a bit countercontradictory, let your body automatically stutter but it's not about being okay with it (this is attaching importance), it's about not minding it, not reacting to your stutter (letting go). If you think 'it's okay to stutter' then you are already one step too far because you formed an opinion 'being okay' which is attaching (a reason) to do compulsion. It's also not about 'not being okay' (because again, this is also attaching), it doesn't matter if you convince yourself and are in the right it's still attaching you make the trigger REAL. What is reacting to the trigger: * forming an opinion about trigger like being okay * convincing positive or negative, either way you attach importance * ignoring, distracting * techniques, onset * every thought and feeling towards the trigger The more you react to the trigger, the harder it is to stop compulsion.
