\> NOT CARE about this thought, fade the thought, distract myself from the thought or change the thought to 'I won't stutter on the letter'. ​ It is much easier to change a behaviour than to change a thought. I recommend looking into Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. However it is possible. My question would be however - before you speak, do you get a feeling of going to stutter (characterised as fear possibly or tension?) or is it an actual specific thought (saying the words 'I will stutter' in your head). For me its a physical response, rather than a thought, although sometimes it can be a thought also. ​ From my studies in psychology, it is often when a behaviour is repeated, it is reinforced. So for example, if you get tense/anxious/feel fear of stuttering before speaking, and this continues to happen, you will continue to have this thought/behaviour. ​ Stuttering on purpose will not remove the thought on its own, its the practice of deliberatly doing what your fear response is telling you, with the outcome being no fear. The more you stutter on purpose and practice actually becoming comfortable stuttering, with a sense of control, because you are doing it on purpose, the more the fear will ease. ​ \> NOT CARE about this thought, fade the thought, distract myself from the thought or change the thought to 'I won't stutter on the letter'. This works great, in theory, but how will you actually practice this? Changing your thought to "I wont stutter" and then you end up actually stuttering, in a sense you are creating a cognitive dissonance rather than reinforcing *a behaviour.* ​ Question 1: How can I learn to love stutterfree speaking (over stuttering)? I am confused by this question, as my original point was that you need to learn to accept your identity as a person who stutters in order to overcome it. Think of it as a badge of honour that doesn't define you. ​ \> Question 2: How can I empathize as a stutterfree person? (how can I think, do and feel like a stutterfree person)? \> Question 3: How can I make 'choosing to stutter' more difficult, unsatisfying, invisible and unnecessary? \> Question 4: How can I make 'choosing to speak stutterfree' easier, more satisfying, visible and necessary? You do this by taking control over the identity of stuttering. When you are feeling more fluent, purposefully stutter around people to defeat the fear of being labelled as someone with a stutter. ​ Let me know if this helps. I recommend Beyond Stuttering by Dave McGuire as a book. It is very insightful (especially if you cannot afford to attend their courses). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1297304.Beyond\_Stammering
