"Try to speak those words and sentences on which you stutter, as much as possible. You will eventually start to stutter less on those words." * I stutter on all letters and words equally because I don't have a condition: 'I will stutter on a specific letter'. * Every time I enter a situation I have this condition without fear: 'I will stutter on all letters'. * You said: if I speak my feared letters often, then I learn to feel comfortable with them with less fear. * I agree with you. I have done exactly this. I have learned to become comfortable without fear. However, I'm still stuttering on every letter. Question: in your experience, what are your unhelpful responses (and perceptions)? (other than what you already said)
