Your impulse to *not apologize* for your speech is truly what I believe too and I sincerely apologize if I did a poor job explaining myself. I do not have debilitating blocks anymore. Check out my profile to see my post here with formal citations detailing how I learned to overcome my stutter. “Not apologizing” is absolutely a part of it, but giving information in a NON-APOLOGIZING manner is one of the most effective tools to REDUCE blocking. It’s not done for your listener, but is rather one of the most clinically and anecdotally longterm effective habits to reduce blocking. No pity dick in my mouth as evidenced by the fact that I work/ed as a teacher and a children’s mental health professional, speaking to dozens of people a day, often in literal crisis situations, via phone, in-person, or in front of a group of professional colleagues. You absolutely have it within you to dramatically reduce your blocks and share your thoughts with the world.
