Advice for people who stutter (PWS) *Person A:* Goal: he wants to become rich. Mini-goals: * waking up early * working hard ​ *Person B:* Goal: reducing stuttering Most common **incorrect mini-goals** from stutterers: * measuring your amount of stutters in the last (3) sentences. Question: does it help to become more rich, if I am constantly measuring how much money I have? Same with stuttering * linking the **speech mistakes** of the previous (3) sentences to 'stutter disorder' Correct mini-goals: * measuring how much **less** stuttering bothered you, in the previous (3) sentences * measuring how much **less** you 'deliberately tried to control' your speech * thinking about speech mistakes is fine (everyone does that in order to evolve), but don't blame, link (or measure) it to your stutter disorder/problem (otherwise you feed the monster)
