Amy, I have talked about "avoidance behaviors" and encouraged clients to disclose their avoidances and have also disclosed examples of things I avoid (a very human and understandable behavior that we all do). But I have never "demonstrated" avoidance behaviors in therapy. Yes, I have often demonstrated pseudostuttering to clients - in the clinic and also out in the "read world" - having the client evaluate the reaction of listeners. My philosophy has always been never to ask a client to do something that I am not willing to do myself. Judy
