i hate to say it but:** THIS** every stutterers main goal should be loosing the fear of stuttering itself. i had this "whoa,dude-event" when my therapist stuttered through a therapy-session in a crowded bakery. he gave me the task to order 2 coffee and cake in a fixed time of 5 minutes.of course i couldn't do it. so he did the job for me and stuttered willingly for 5 min to order the stuff.it was the first time i realised how other people react to stuttering and this situation took the crippling fear of my mind/shoulders.
