We can get into a negative feedback loop
(block - emotional reaction - deeper block --- more reaction --- even
deeper block...) when our cerebral cortex is essentially "paralyzed" and
unable to exert any kind of control we might have learned in therapy.
When that happens (and for some of us that's unfortunately not
infrequent), it is good to STOP, reset, consciously pause, and regain
our bearings and ability to exert some control. In time, the process of
"stopping" and "resetting" can become fast enough to be unnoticed. The issue of helpful pausing is covered in my audio course.
The posts are based on my experience as life-long stutterer and professional scientist in areas of Biophysics and bio-inspired computing (NASA 1980-2020). I reached a point where my stutter is no longer an issue, and is normally undetectable, but I can still be caught by surprise instances. This is probably the best that can be expected for this stubborn syndrome.
