>which will remove a little Thank you. I agree with everything you say. If I think: "I should have already removed stuttering", then always when I stutter, of course I feel bothered that I stutter. Solution A: I can't ignore/distract/move focus away from this thought (I can't run away from this thought). So I need to confront and accept this thought to deal with it, how exactly? Solution B: an alternative solution is, to let the thought and stuttering be (don't deal with them). Instead, I can deal with the causal relationship between the two. Imagine this: Negative thought...... because ........ stuttering. Stuttering........ because.............. negative thought ​ The negative thought (that triggers stuttering) on itself doesn't create pressure. It's when we associate this thought to stuttering, but how? Answer: we do this by attaching a causal relationship, like this: 'I should have already removed my stuttering' > so that's why > I paralyze my mouth 'I paralyze my mouth' > because > 'I should have already removed my stuttering ​ Instead of combatting the thought, I can only approach: "BECAUSE". If I DETACH the association, then it doesn't matter if the intrusive habitual thought is in my mind because it doesn't trigger my stuttering anymore. How can I approach the 'attached value: BECAUSE'?
