Testing: everything is great, but you want to see if some historical feared words want to come out and play.

Combat fatigue

Combat soldiers – especially those who have – lost battles or who are entrenched – need breaks. Otherwise they become fatigued and are ineffective as fighters. Occasionally, recovering stammerers will have trouble with phone or street work or both. They continue to grab for tricks no matter how hard they try, or how many situations they go into. Although there is some long-term benefit from simply attacking these situations, it can become counter-productive because tricks and avoidances are being reinforced.

If you are in this rut, drop down to an easier situation such as reading to yourself and practicing with friends and family. Do this constantly for a whole day. This means several hours while isolating and exaggerating everything on the checklist – especially deliberate dysfluency. Do several ‘hang-up drills’. Then hit the phone and/or streets again the next day with much deliberate dys-fluency. You will, however, have to show some guts not to use your tricks and to hit and hold through your blocks if your deliberate dysfluency becomes real.

WARNING : Make an honest attempt to do the regular practice. Do not fall back on the ‘combat fatigue’ routine without a fight.
