Thank you for taking the time to answer me, it was very interesting. It's a shame then that the deconditioning track is weak because of the difficulty in putting it in place, it could have been an int...

***I'm also not convinced that relying on such conditioned "value judgments" is an effective approach to achieving stuttering remission. Why not going down the rabbit hole towards executing speech mo...

***However, the key issue is that stutterers usually cannot consciously regulate or control these effects at will. Can you resonate with this? So, for example, in my case, I tried through conditioning...

***Fear-panic response – How do we minimize its impact or increase our tolerance to conditioned stimuli?*** I don’t know if we can increase tolerance directly, since the stimulus is there to precisel...

***"So, if this is true, then I think addressing stuttering towards automatic processes (i.e., stuttering remission) should involve two elements:"*** 1. ***Automatic processes – How do we kickstart t...

>*"Easy onset is the name of a strategy widely used in speech therapy that aims to do the opposite of applying force at the beginning of speech to improve fluency."* Agreed. Here is a description of ...

>*"The development of motor behaviors in speech hinders fluency. For example, when a person who stutters exerts extreme effort to pronounce a syllable at the beginning of a word—when, in reality, this...

Lastly, about "negative emotions"—I prefer the term **conditioned stimulus** because not all triggers are negative emotions. In Pavlov’s dog experiment, the bell alone became a trigger for salivation,...

You also mentioned: >*"Fluency doesn’t exert any muscular effort—it happens effortlessly, without any control. They compromise this coordination."* I fully agree with this. If someone uses a compens...

>*"Neurophysiological basis + Negative emotions > impaired behavioral patterns until the aversive stimulus is reduced or reaches a tolerable level."* Yes exactly, that makes a lot of sense to me. I'd...

I feel like my innie would stutter more. I've been training for years in using avoidance techniques and breath resets. My innie would just inherit the problem without the baggage of solutions I've dev...

Great summary, congratulations!! This was made by me, and I am just re-writing the stuff: Reinforcing: Stuttering is an extremely complex and multidimensional disorder, which means it does not ...

**TL;DR summary (of the post):** *Neurophysiological basis* \+ *Negative emotions* \> They produce behavioral patterns (similar to those exhibited during physical pain experiences) until the av...

Funny enough, I’ve been watching the show and had the same thought. I think my innie would still stutter, just maybe not as much. I’ve stuttered pretty much since I started speaking, and research sug...

yes, me too. lately i have been trying to NOT stop me for saying thinks i wanna really wanna say to explain something. sometimes its fucking frustrating when you cant do it but my friends are helping ...

Similar experience. I consider myself pretty and my friends never pointed out my stutter. I did receive a couple of mean comments in kindergarten though. My ex boyfriend never asked either. Which make...

I understand. But ultimately, the things we do to avoid them, make everything worse, for our own mental health, and for our listener to know what is happening...

I hate to say but you chose the wrong job I always say being comfortable is a peace of mind I'm mean you don't have to wake up every morning and say again I'm going to the office and my colleagues kno...

Ultimately, the things we do to avoid the repetitions cause much bigger problems....

You sound like a caring person and that is SO GREAT! For me, there were always certain situations that made it worse and a first date was certainly one of them. It’s difficult to hide and what makes s...
