Dr. Badwington- I applaud your efforts of encouraging people to step outside of their comfort zones, as I myself sometimes have issues with this. I think the idea of challenging yourself 'everyday' takes some of the scariness away because it ideally becomes just another part of your day over time. My question to you regarding stutterers stepping out of their comfort zones is this: Do you feel that the 'short-term discomfort'that a stutterer might feel in the beginning of stepping out of their comfort zones might be so great that it prevents them from trying it again and preventing them from ever becoming desensitized to it? Would you suggest that stutterers become desensitized to the fear of stuttering in their comfort zones before expanding these zones ?
