I have a client who has very set ideas about his stuttering, including that he "always has trouble" with certain sounds, like /k/. In your opinion, do such beliefs need to be altered for fluency to be more consistent (through reduced anxiety), or does fluency need to be more consistent before such beliefs can change? In other words--is it normal for certain sounds to be troublesome, or is it more of a mental idea becoming reality?
