Thank you! "How do you disengage the right hemisphere of your brain which is over active as you say when we stutter?" \--> [This](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2022.894676/full) study shows that, if people who stutter (PWS) focus on prosody to maintain the forward flow of speech (e.g., during choral speech), then it leads to left side hemisphere dominant speaking which is very similar to how fluent speakers speak. Whereas PWS who speak fluently when speaking alone, reinforce right side hemisphere dominant speaking. A PhD researcher concludes that these right hemisphere differences are likely mainly due to overactivation of perceptions and responses (such as avoidance-behaviors, unhelpful corrections, secondaries, coping mechanisms, overthinking on anticipation anxiety, preparing for stuttering anticipation or anticipation of negative listeners responses, reinforcing overreliance on sensory information, relying on senses, thoughts and feelings to manage fluency and stuttering, etc). Conclusion: I argue in this viewpoint, that we can aim for left side hemisphere dominant speaking by: * focusing on prosody to maintain the forward flow of speech * focusing on prosody also works as a distraction mechanism * **interrupting, delaying or limiting** avoidance responses, unhelpful corrections, secondary characteristics, negative coping mechanisms, overthinking on anticipation anxiety, preparing for stuttering anticipation or anticipation of negative listeners responses, sensory feedback control, relying on senses, thoughts and feelings to manage fluency and stuttering and panic responses. If we let go of these unhelpful responses, then it enables us to put complete faith in the feedforward system and speak on the timing of our own intention like Normal Fluent Speakers (NFS) * Another study which I reviewed in [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1372xp9/tips_to_improve_stuttering_anticipation_is/) post, came to a similar conclusion
