"How would I give it less significance without constantly thinking about struggling to say the word I want to say." 1. Firstly, make a list of all your stutter triggers 2. Observe the trigger (really experience its discomfort) & don't react to it (Meaning, no thoughts or feelings for this trigger) (Meaning, don't encourage or be bothered by trigger) (Meaning, don't overthink, don't do internal monologue about your trigger. Just observe it) 3. let instinct/body stutter (instead of you) 4. deliberately don't do compulsion and be surprised (delay, interrupt, limit the compulsion) 5. Always use natural speaking (don't use techniques, don't speak slowly, don't use onset, don't use distractions to focus on breathing, mindfulness, here and now or other person). Note: remember, it's about focusing on the trigger in order to become resilient against it. If you focus on something else, then you are doing anxiety-reducing activities. The disadvantage is then: you are not building resilience against the trigger. 6. learn to not be bothered by your stuttering (because then your instinct/body will automatically change or hide the trigger) 7. learn to not be bothered by your reaction to the trigger The result of this is: \- disconfirming expectancy \- detaching importance from trigger \- building resilience against trigger \- your instinct learns that trigger is not true, scary, my identity, my true intention, has no power, goal, meaning \- now you stop expecting compulsion and learned to not be bothered by stuttering
