But you stutter less. That is something big to work on. The mind and body respond to certain stimulus that perceive as a threat. Tipically is another person. Then it shut down the speaking mechanism producing a block to prevent harm. But the simulus does not neccessarily has to be another person. Is the though of another person that make´s you stutter. *For example;* you can be alone talking relatively fine but your mind hears a sound and you begin to think that someone is coming. So you start blocking. But there is no one there. **You just have to imagine on your mind´s eye the presence of someone and it can trigger your blocking response.** That is why people don´t usually stutter when alone. Or stutter less like yourself. Because even if you can think of the presence of someone, because no one is really there, the mind can partially let go. Anyways... The key remains the same; he have a problem with the experience of communicating with other people. We have a problem expressing ourself. Hope it make sense. Take care.
