"Should stuttering be reduced" In the viewpoint of both - *stutterers who accept to live with stuttering their whole lives -* and *stutterers who aim for stopping stuttering* \- in both cases 1. **PWS should not aim for trying to unblock** **(interventions)**\- rather we can learn to not feel bothered by stuttering and anticipatory fear and we can learn to not feel bothered by awareness and intention. The positive effect is then that we stop panicking and therefore reduce blaming: the anticipation, stutter pressure, stutter experience etc - in order to choose to breathe out (or move articulators) during a speech block
