I have always stuttered the same in all situations, even if I'm [alone](https://ahn.mnsu.edu/services-and-centers/center-for-communication-sciences-and-disorders/services/stuttering/professional-education/convention-materials/archive-of-online-conferences/isad2007/why-do-so-many-stutterers-fail-to-stutter-when-alone-and-how-can-this-phenomenon-be-used-in-treatment/#:~:text=However%2C%20when%20it%20comes%20to,%2D%20only%205%2D12%25), [sing](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/q7ils9/do_you_stutter_while_singing/), read chorally, speak slower, disclose, try not to stutter etc. Basically, nothing seemed to be affecting my stuttering. I changed this by doing this exercise: Step 1: Say my own name, but without voice, without exhaling, only moving speech muscles Step 2: Say my own name In the exercise, you gotta switch/alter between step 1 and 2 as often as possible. The goal is to write a big list of the differences that you experience, so in the end you have a non-stutterer's list (such as, deciding/instructing to execute articulation), and another list which is the stutterer-list (such as, needing to calm down and reduce fear, needing to focus on breathing, desiring fluency and other maladaptive responses that has absolutely nothing to do with speech initiation as a non-stutterer). Then switch between the mental states "stutterer" and "non-stutterer" until you are able to speak fluently for 5 minutes, then 1 hour and then a whole day.
