Here is an analogy that captures an important aspect of stuttering: the swallowing-a-pill analogy.
When you drink water, you swallow the water without a problem. When you have to swallow a pill, you might choke on the pill. Being aware of swallowing makes us choke.
Being aware of stuttering makes the stuttering worse.
