\>However, this is my anecdotal experience and I recognize that these might not work for others. I agree and would never push back on the personal experiences of others. I have silent blocks before, during and after words. Slowing down, breathing, not caring doesn't change that I will experience disfluency. If I am alone, sometimes saying words or sentences to a rhythm helps. It comes from a workbook I was given during my time in Speech Therapy. One of the sentences was "The cat ran in the rain." With my fingers, I had to tap a beat and say that sentence out loud.
