Nicely said :D My intent was, to explain that for some cases, mine included, this form of approach applies. I am the person that stutters for 23 years. At this moment, I can control my speech for 95% during the day. If I look back two years ago, that number was only 5%. At this day and age, I’m back at school following classes and taking part of an excellence program. Here I’m doing the things I actually enjoy and not choosing a path were speech could be avoided. Which was the driving factor I chose my previous profession. The excellence program, involves giving presentations and speeches in front of 50+ people from the business field, in which I intend to work in the future. Because of this pressure of preforming, I stutter more and lose some part of the control I previously had. This results in me stuttering more for a couple of days, but my control improves quicker and quicker after those days. Which looks something like this: 1 step back and 2 steps forward. I have seen too many people, I myself included, struggling with setbacks in which they can’t see the end. I too had my periods where I was fluent, and the next day I was back at that 5%. This involves me struggling to improve my speech for weeks, or even months till it was somewhat understandable for others. With my approach now I’m set back to 70% but will recover to 95+% in just 5 days. Which puts me at my next point. I manage my speech with a controlled stream of setbacks and victories. I refuse, to avoid/say a certain word or letter, not give a speech or avoid a situation. I would like to quote you here: That's self-sabotage. As a result, my confidence grows and my control and trust in my speech improves. You can get rid of a stutter completely, but it will take time and effort.
