I'd say the diagram is perfectly correct, as the anxieties and lack of confidence give justification for my mind to put up a barrier/be on high alert. ​ Once again, all very accurate analyzing from your part. As for your questions, I was very confused reading them; I didn't really understand if you are taking about short term answers to your questions or long term "I should apply this" kind of answers, but: 1. Stop using that same condition or stop blaming "stopped moving your tongue" on anxiety or lack of confidence 1. Given I'm interpreting this correctly, I can't readily change why I blame my tongue for not moving. Since I've had years of internalization of this anxiety & lack of confidence everytime I stutter, I know that the blocks are only happening because of anxiety/confidence, nothing else. I'm sorry, I don't think I understood this. 2. What happens if you keep the thoughts and feelings from your anxiety... (Moving my tongue automatically and avoiding anxieties) 1. I've tried this recently. The only way I'm not going to engage with these thoughts are if I force white noise to fill my thoughts before I speak. But ultimately, I still can't get by, as trying to empty my mind still doesn't prevent the subconscious reaction to events (racing heart).
