Ari, nice job. Desensitization occurs when you can hold that block and not feel anxious. Releasing the block before it ends by itself is what leads to struggle behaviors. My guess is that the more times you hold the block until it releases itself will cause the blocks to become shorter in time. You are getting control when the block ends by itself without tension. You will also learn not to panic and get anxious during the moment of stuttering. When you can stutter without getting nervous and anxious and trying to end the block, you are ready to get control. How is your eye contact during moments of stuttering?
