>John Harrison portrayed self-awareness as two circles, one representing your true self and the other representing what you show to others, and the overlapping area between the circles represents self-awareness. 1-Intentions are what you tell yourself and others that you will do. Often, intentions are not related to words, but to what you want to do in general. Like you, I also read the book re-defining stuttering. I like the hexagon. The problem is that most PWS view *stuttering* as a problem and *fluency* as a 'desire' or 'good'. However, thinking in good and bad, leads to feeling bothered (or fight, flight, freeze response) if we stutter, and leads to the need to anticipate stuttering if we desire fluency. **Conclusion**: in my opinion, we could therefore improve the hexagon, by stopping with 'desiring fluency' (staying in the future) and instead, right now having intention to send command signals (instead of focusing on disruptions). The positive effect is that we stay in the here and now. If we combine this with a helpful attitude: '***I don't care if I fail to send command signals to speech muscles***', then it doesn't lead to good-bad thinking and therefore it could lead to breaking the stutter cycle.
