The simultaneous activation leading to an isometric effect with no net effect on the glass is a great way to put it. I agree that is essentially what happens. I agree with most of what you said. Ho...

In the end of the day, anticipation is simply an **intrusive** \[thought, body sensation or feeling\] (such as, an anticipatory pressure in the throat, which most people in [this poll ](https://www.re...

Thank you for your fantastic comment! >*"I could get more technical to explain neural structures and dynamics that lend credence to this explanation, but this comment is already too long."* I would...

Anticipation is the problem, because overreliance implies there is some level of reliance where anticipation is helpful. If you want a window into how fluent people experience the process of speaking...

Thank you for your reply! I can resonate with much of what Brocklehurst (PhD) states, but my opinions diverge slightly when it comes to the VRT (variable release threshold) hypothesis. Namely, Brock...

>If this is true, then I think that relying on such sensations (like tension in the vocal chords, or anticipation, or needing confidence, or a slight shift in our brain, as you pointed out) would only...

Gotcha! I agree with everything you said. In various research studies I've noticed that they use the terminology "intolerance for a sensation of loss of control that leads to fight, flight or freeze r...

"Do you often feel or know that you will stutter". I don't think anticipation is the right word to describe this. It's more like a sixth sense or intuition. When we think of the words we want to say...

Great question! As you pointed out, how can CBT be helpful for such anticipation? I believe that many individuals with disorders/conditions (such as, OCD, PTSD, depression, panic or social anxiety di...

I've seen lots of people stated that they stutter way more less or even speak fluently while doing presentations. Perhaps thats the time they're too focusing to express their ideas that they become le...

Viewing stuttering as a set of bad habits - thoughts?

Viewing stuttering as a set of bad habits - thoughts? I just had a thought that stuttering is possibly just habits? It’s a habit that before we speak, we analyse for words we may stutter on. It’s a ...

I find that I don't stutter as much in times when I genuinely don't care if I stutter... so I guess that's a sign that lowering expectations reduces stuttering. But on the other hand, thinking to my...

Have you noticed that you can sometimes study for a long time, and, if you change your expectations you cannot do that anymore? If we have also associated such expectations with stuttering, what can we do to stop relying on such expectations?
