Steve, You wrote that, "when I am totally open about stuttering to myself and others, the problem seems to melt away". So, your primary goal to be open about stuttering has made a significant difference. It seems that you have been quite successful in achieving your goal because it is a good fit for you. As a speech-language pathologist, I couldn't wish for anything more for a client than to figure out and focus on a goal that fits their needs, personality and wishes so well. In my early years of practice, I spent too much time trying to make the client fit the goals rather than the other way around. Of course, that seldom resulted in the best outcome. Now, my early sessions with clients centers on what they would like to achieve from treatment. And, I revisit that periodically, as someone may revise their goal(s) over time. Thanks for posting your question. I hope others will contribute to this topic. Regards, Lynne
