"I suffer from stuttering for as long as I can remember. " " I can't express myself as I want" "blocking myself at the beginning of the word." It's not about fluency. Our stutter problem is not that we are not fluent. The problem of my own stammering is, that I, if I don't try to unblock, then I constantly think of my stutter trigger and my body ignores or changes this trigger subconsciously. We have many triggers like this: "I will stutter now" and by 'ignoring it' you are reacting to the trigger as if it is real, as if it's something to fear. If you react to the trigger (attaching importance) then it causes a stutter anticipation so then you know or feel a stutter is coming. The answer is not to TRY to unblock, because trying is attaching importance. Speaking comes automatically and natural without trying. The answer is to detach importance from the trigger that causes a stutter anticipation. If you only focus on 'fluency' then it means that you are bothered by your stuttering (which again, makes your trigger real). It's about making your trigger less real or fearful in order to disconfirm expectancy. ​ "stuttering to be eliminate" Firstly, you can't eliminate stutter trigger (because it's either neurological or genetic or the trigger comes from the instinct). Secondly, we can modify our perspective and response to the trigger by observing it without reacting to it in order to become resilient against the trigger. This is probably how 80% of kids remove stuttering completely (which is called outgrowing)
