>"What do you mean by this? Are you saying you should push through blocks? Or are you saying one should employ some kind of block modification technique? Cause the former isn't a viable option since it almost never works and it's physically exhausting." Neither. I only mean [this strategy ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1aw3nmk/have_you_ever_tried_this_stutter_strategy_for/)which you can practice for 3 months. Switching between silent mouthing and speaking a word while "deciding or instructing to move the speech muscles". The goal of this strategy is not fluency, rather the aim is to learn to control decision-making to move the speech muscles during a stutter, and also, without tricks or techniques, it's about realizing what you are doing different from how non-stutterers speak (such as, PWS rely on confidence, blaming things, and other expectations that affect stuttering), and then, learning to stop entering such "stutter state", and rather prioritize a "non-stutterer state". Also, in this strategy it's about viewing stuttering as the outcome, and it's about addressing the underlying factors (not the outcome itself). In the end of the strategy, you'll have learned to "decide/instruct" to initiate motor programs voluntarily. Remember, there are many types of speech blocks, and this is simply one of them, but I consider this speech block type #1 (the first one that we should unlearn or resolve, because otherwise the other speech block types will be difficult to resolve).
