Cori Miller wrote: It is my understanding that a brain will never fully recover from injury. Because your stuttering was injury-induced, will you have dysfluent moments for the rest of your life? Cori, I won't know the answer to that until the end of my life! My stuttering is just about gone already ... Cori wrote: Also, you say the stuttering moments now might appear to be slips of the tongue to someone else, but to you it feels different. How does it feel different? Is it because you know about stuttering and are able to discern the two? ... Cori, the best words I can use to describe the difference would be to say that I feel a greater loss of control when I experience a stuttering dysfluency. Louise Heite wrote an article to to describe some of her feelings when stuttering: http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad4/papers/heite4.html It is in the 2001 ISAD Online Conference, here on the Stuttering Home Page, and it it entitled "La Petite Mort: Dissociation and the Subjective Experience of Stuttering".
