Hi! I am a 20 yr old who stutters. I would say I stutter "moderately or severely." Anyone who talks to me can immediately tell I stutter (probably on half the words I say). Most of my blocks are pretty tense (noticeable facial tension, head jerks, averted eye contact, lots of interjections and such). I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on the use of cancellations. What specifically is a cancellation? What purpose does repeating a previously stuttered upon serve? Won't I just block again when I say it over? Thanks!
