Hi Viktor, personally I don’t try to fight or conquer stuttering. It’s a part of who I am, and I’ve learned to accept it. I also don’t push myself to be more fluent than I naturally am. Instead, I try to let myself stutter the way I stutter, rather than forcing fluency. What I focus on is desensitizing my fear of speaking by continuing to do what I need to do in daily life and saying what I want to say. In other words, I work on reducing avoidance and building comfort through real-life speaking experiences.
