For me, it’s a combination of changing my thinking and my actions. As John says, you have to attack the hexagon as a whole, not just at one point.<\/p>\n
Thinking: It sounds like you’re well along that path. When I read John’s book, I was deeply impressed by the ideas and the stories, and they rang true for me. Not only the hexagon, but the way he observed himself and came to understand why he stuttered in some situations but not others. Understanding myself better has been key for my recovery.<\/p>\n
Actions: Going out of your comfort zone as much and as confidently as possible. As painful or scary as it may be, this is where you get results. You can sign up for Toastmasters or another public speaking club, ask people on the street for directions, call merchants on the phone with questions about products–whatever you find most frightening or most likely to cause you to stutter.<\/p>\n
A few people make sudden ”breaks” with stuttering, where the change in thinking is so profound that they can take a gigantic leap out of their comfort zone and very quickly become fluent in nearly all situations (e.g., Alan and Ahsen). For others (including me), it’s a longer process, where successes in stretching my comfort zone leads to better thinking, which leads to more success in stretching my comfort zone, etc. So don’t be discouraged if it takes some time, and if sometimes it seems like you’re not making progress.
\nGood luck!

Det h\u00e4r tycker jag var trevligt och uppmuntrande att l\u00e4sa. En g\u00e5ng i mitt liv trodde jag att alla som stammade hade samma \u00e5komma och \u00e5tf\u00f6ljande problem. Idag har jag f\u00f6rst\u00e5tt vi alla f\u00f6rst och fr\u00e4mst \u00e4r olika. Olika som personer. Men med vissa drag i talet som p\u00e5minner om varandra. Vi g\u00f6r olika erfarenheter i livet. D\u00e4rf\u00f6r tror jag att det en bra id\u00e9 att ta l\u00e4rdom av varandra. ”Jag har fr\u00e5gat s\u00e5 mycket som jag har hunnit…” sjunger b\u00e5de sk\u00e5despelaren Georg Rydeberg och sk\u00e5despelaren Jean Gabin i en s\u00e5ng p\u00e5 YOUTUBE. Inte minst d\u00e4rf\u00f6r vill jag h\u00e4vda, att det \u00e4r v\u00e4l v\u00e4rt att fr\u00e5ga sig fram genom livet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
