Comment #6: I think we should not learn to rely on negative and positive value judgements. Both are not needed to kick-start automatic processes and only diverts us away from subconscious fluency (and leads to more controlled fluency which I think is NOT what we should be aiming for). Anyway. I posted a strategy in this subreddit 2 years ago. In this strategy I "instruct" or signal my subconscious about WHEN it should start speaking. In other words, I SIGNAL my brain - to kick-start the automatic processes. And I unlearn other things that stutterers would normally do, for example, I unlearn muscle tension, I unlearn muscle relaxation, I unlearn to reduce fear (because there is no need to reduce fear to kick-start the auitomatic processes). etc etc. You get the drift. I think? This strategy resulted in stuttering remission for me (and subconscious fluency), but I can only hold it out for so long. Sometimes I speak fluently for many weeks, other times for only a couple of hours before I start stuttering again. I start stuttering again, in those times, because I start viewing myself as a stutterer again (after a period of fluency).. If I adopt a stutter identity, then I activate a stutter state and stutter mindset, resulting in stuttering. What have you tried to achieve stuttering remission and subconscious fluency?
