The next step is to think about the word but not think you will stutter on it. My cause and effect line: I stutter > because I visualize a stutter> because I expect a stutter > because of a worry thought ​ In my experience, last month I started with ignoring 'visualizing a stutter and expecting stutter'. If I ignore it, then I speak fluently for a few sentences until another worry thought ​ Later, 2 weeks ago, I tried another approach to ignore 'worry thoughts'. This was really hard, because I first had to create a big list of all my worry thoughts that trigger my stutter. Then I had to read out loud these negative affirmations daily in the mirror so they become more conscious. And then I was finally able to 'ignore' every worry thought. Result is that if I ignore a worry thought, then I speak fluently for a few sentences until another worry thought. ​ So in that experience, I did not experience less stuttering yet but I have to keep practicing. What is your experience and opinion?
