Really great article/speech on stuttering. https://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/Infostuttering/Harrison/hexagonarticle.html I've read it a few times...i'm sure many of you have too. He talks extensively on silent blocks which is my primarily disfluency. "I'm suggesting that, as the person with a chronic blocking problem approaches each word, his mind acts like the forward-looking radar on a high performance fighter flying just a few hundred feet off the ground. The radar looks ahead for hazards, sees a hill or tall building, sends the information back to the aircraft where the on-board computer evaluates this data and sends the appropriate commands to the ailerons and other aircraft controls that cause the plane to move higher and avoid the danger."
