good questions. I used to have a number of situations in which I got anxious (doe to projection and personalization) and blocked every time. The anxiety overwhelmed my ability to control the fine motor muscle groups that control speech. In my case I only knew the voluntary stuttering and advertising; and it helped. I was at a plateau until I learned CBT. A reduction in anticipatory anxiety will make behavioral techniques easier to implement. Anxiety increases nervousness and leads to dissociation. A person can begin to reduce anxiety through desensitization. They can begin voluntary stuttering, advertising they stutter, and speaking up. When the pws learns CBT they can expedite cognitive reorganization. When you read the personal stories on this conference you see common themes: advertising, self-help groups, Toastmasters, and building courage to speak up. Cheers,
