You're conflating a bunch of different things. Stuttering isn't some psychological puzzle to crack and once you do you'll be able to talk in public like you do when you're alone. You're on a fool's er...

I believe that stuttering is 90% caused by psychological fear, and the other 10% is caused by something else. I know it is very hard not to be nervous, but I can only say it comes with practice. I use...
