In fluency shaping-always when i get anxious i was told to speak more slowly, So this is what i did, and when it also didn't work i spoke slower and so forth. Today i think that this is also a kind of avoidance, that is: avoid dealing with the fear of stuttering. I think that if i can speak in this rhythm all the time it is wonderful, but if i am trying to speak slowly when i am anxious it increase the fear that i cant use my normal speak. So what do you think: slow speech -when you fear is high-its good advice or it increase the fear?
