Safety behaviors provide temporary relief in immediate speaking moments, but over time they subconsciously hinder your natural flow of speech.
If you've ever tried to conceal your stutter, you're not alone.
This episode unravels the coping mechanisms behind safety behaviors in stuttering — driven by the fear of judgment, past traumas, and societal misconceptions.
Self-editing behaviors such as scanning-ahead and substituting words become deeply ingrained, paradoxically reinforcing the fear they aim to alleviate.
Self-censorship, rooted in past experiences where it felt unsafe to stutter, leads to a trade-off: short-term relief at the expense of true self-expression.
With patience and commitment, small steps can break the cycle to an unedited version of authentic expression!
