[[And also i am trying to stay at the moment of the block,and it is very difficult to me too. I think that the reason is because when we hold in the moment of stuttering,we hold the moment of the impossibility to say the sound. When we feel that we cant say the sound,we want to do something,and it is very hard to just stay in that moment. I think that this problem cause the most of our stuttering behaviors . ]] >>> Just a quick comment about staying in the moment with the stutter: Doing so means attending to how your body is feeling as you stutter as well as the emotions you are feeling and the thoughts you are thinking. It is being an observer of all you are doing while stuttering. It does not mean deliberately, as you put it, "holding the sound." It means observing without judgment and letting what transpires transpire. And, yes, it is not easy, but it is necessary. As the Dalai Lama has said, "Nothing is gained by doing what is easy." --- Ellen-Marie Silverman
