On my own.I added two more terms. 1. I press my thumb and index finger against each other. 2. I repeat a sentence to make the fear invalid and give myself positive feedback. Such as: 1. Speaking is not hard and dangerous.I can express myself calmly and clearly without hesitation. 2. Stuttering is not a crime, disability or unpleasant. Even if I stutter, I am innocent, valuable, safe and strong. If you change these feelings, you are desensitive to speaking and stuttering. People stutter on purpose outside for several months in the desentiziation phase of Van Riper Thearapy.
