I agree! I learned this also in exposure therapy that it's more effective to always expect triggers (to build tolerance and become less sensitive) such as always expecting anticipatory anxiety '**I will stutter**'. In combination with stress management by telling yourself '**it's okay**', we are less likely to respond with fight flight freeze, in my opinion
