Thank you so much for posting! As a person who stutters I can relate a lot to the overthinking, anxiety, self-shame, and many more emotions that can come along with stuttering. The main tips you gave to focus on (self-compassion, mindfulness, and decentering) can all be helpful in creating a positive relationship with our stutter and help us work through those initial negative reactions that we get from stuttering from time to time. Initial reactions are just thoughts but if you focus in on them too much you can convince yourself that they are true, and it builds up even more anxiety. Great post and I cannot wait to read the study fully!
