I agree completely! Stutterers feel bothered by mistakes (being in the past) and desire a positive fluent outcome (being in the future). Once we allow mistakes and stop desiring for fluency (being in the future), we can be in the present, which makes blaming: "**the anticipatory fear** and **panic**" to stop breathing out during a speech block - unnecessary.
