first of all, i'm loving this experimentation process and putting in the effort to find what words for you. that's legit, regardless of how successful it was. to preface what i'm about to say, "the reason for your stutter" is less an absolute truth that and certainly doesn't have to align with the "majority" in order for it to be true for you. if you stutter when eating bananas, then shit ... you stutter when eating bananas. but, it's also clear you're still coming to terms with how you work and getting to know your stutter more. power to you, as i've mentioned. but, i think the more that you kind of navigate through it like crossing off items on a list and moving forward, doing so in such a way could be limiting - and more importantly - we change over time, too. what doesn't make you stutter today could make you stutter tomorrow, vice versa. what helped me the most is to keep super simple journal (i.e., the notes app on iPhone), and to track it with a) emotion and b) situation/environment rather than working retroactively to crossing off items on a list that don't impact it. there's always going to be more error in the second approach. i'll give a little example: i know that my stutter gets worse when i'm feeling a) challenged by someone that knows more than me on a topic, rushed, and threatened. these often happen in situations where i'm b) having to prove my knowledge of something that i actually don't have a firm grasp on, around important people that either rank me at work, or around people that i care to gain approval from you're an experimenter. give it a go and see what you get. god speed!
