So what I mean by when I say we can’t hide shit, is we can’t hide from our stutter. The hiding it is what gives it power. So If you know you can’t hide it, then confront it head on. Rather than trying to not stutter, try to manipulate it, publicly. To slice out of it, and into fluency. This might mean slowing waaaay down when you’re approaching this word, like starting with the 3-5 words before it that you’re not worried about. “My name is Tom”, and Tom is where you block, becomes “myyyyyy nnnnaaaaammmmme isssss (then ease in, as relaxed as you can) Tommmm”. Then if I’m feeling steady, I pick up the cadence, slightly, but deliberately slower. If I’m not ok yet, I slow down further. And honestly, I find that the initial slow down tells my mind I’m not afraid, I’m going to do this, I don’t care how it looks, so the anxiety doesn’t build, and I slide through the block, without much perceptible slowdown. But this took time to get to. Hope this helps.
