Alexandra, Thanks for taking the time to read our article. Regarding your insight, you are correct in your understanding that attempting to be perfectionistic can sabatoge oneself! It is a difficult thing when one tries to be 'perfect' and cannot be satisfied with less. That puts much pressure on an individual. Out participants found that CBT was a great help to them and at the end of the study they said that this form of therapy was one of the most beneficial they ever received. I strongly recommend its use (along with other methods used primarily by SLPs) in the treatment for people who stutter. Evelyn
