Great insight. Today with the Minecraft incident you had the chance of being **assertive.** Meaning expressing youself in a calm and natural manner (opposite to agressiveness) without fearing the judging of other. Beside who was in control of the conversation you were in control of yourself and your intentions. You said what you wanted to said. You did not care about other peoples aproval and in consequence fluency arrived. There where no double intentions regarding: 1) thinking was was correct to say or how to said it. 2) expressing and saying what YOU wanted to say. Becuase your intention was clear, there was no block. I agree with the "power struggle" model. Is very real the feeling that we, as stutter, feel that the other has always the control of the conversation and the outcome. He comes first. We take the leftovers. To apply this to yout daily life I recommend keep beign assertive. Repeat what you did on the Minecraft event. Express youself regardless the other persons expectations or desires. When it feels to hard to do it, **observe** your tendency to hold back. Notice the anticipation of pleasing other people before pleasing yourself. Whenever you observe you step out of your stuttering mentality and then arrise a posibility for change into a new one. That´s the key.
