Recently I've had a certain mindset that I tested which was - I will speak whatever there is on my mind and won't let a thought about stutter pop for even a split second. And I have found I speak almo...

"We've grown confident in our ability through practice and training." \-> You could argue that there are many stutterers who use a technique in order to speak fluently, but when they stop using th...

"Once you achieve fluency" \-> I agree with you that 'aiming for fluency' is a measure to check your progress to achieve 'removing stuttering completely'. But then the question is, how do you mea...

" I'm developing that skill. " \-> conclusion of my previous message is, our problem is not stuttering or the trigger. The problem lies in 'reacting to the trigger' (our response and perspective o...

you are so right, if we try to speak without stutter, then we actually stutter. So, then the question is: should we not try to speak fluently? To answer this question, we need to understand what happ...

Man, if I was you, just be okay with stuttering. Brush it off like the damn minor thing it is. Easier said than done, but if you try not to stutter, you’ll stutter. Just get up there calmly, you’re pe...

I started to do positive reinforcement and it’s actually worked a ton. I’m training my subconscious to think I don’t have a stutter and I’ve removed a lot of blocks somehow. I noticed that when I star...

"I think the program that I went through did build resilience against stutter triggers." -> if true what you say, then why bother convincing yourself with positive statement about your trigger? If ...

"Overcoming stuttering is about becoming the most authentic version of yourself." \-> putting the word 'authentic' on a forum like this is very surreal. I might understand the term as 'being your ...

"This allows you to express yourself without doubts, anxiety, and fear. " \-> precisely. It's not about desentitizing. Because then we learn to speak without fear \-> it's about learning to sp...

"The more you feel like you don't belong, the more you are going to present a fake version of yourself." \-> I think I understand you, but I think 'fear' isn't so much the problem. You can't blame...

**"if the goal if fluency, the more you stutter"** \-> We can stop compulsion, if we have the goal of fluency while we are not bothered by stuttering. **"the more you try, the more you stutter"*...

"victim mindset" \-> victim mindset is another word for 'reacting to trigger' in order to justify compulsion. According to research 60% of the stutterers don't stutter when they are comfortable. T...

"They get stronger and you will have some of the hardest time speaking." \-> you got that right on the money. Imagine a tug of war, you are pulling the rope against your monster. The harder you pu...

**"speech needs working on"** \-> I agree, if you believe that you can't stop compulsion BECAUSE (reason) 1) you need a technique, 2) it needs to improve, or 3) you need more help then you ATTA...

My advice would be to observe number 3 and 4 (anticipating your name)(building pressure in anticipation) and then learn to not react to it. Just recognize these triggers (which is called acceptance) a...

Thanks for your accurate analysis! I’d like to add on to 2, because im not a true fan of tolerance. Yes - tolerance can help you function better, but then what are you functioning for? I think the ca...
