Hello Alan. I am a graduated student in the Speech Language Pathology progam at St.Johns University. I really enjoyed your article and it truly was a touching story. I strongly agree that our beliefs and self-image play such a prominent part in our lives. That is why its so important to work on having a positive self image. I have a question for you. In your article you stated that people would interupt you and ask "Why arnt you stuttering right now?" or "You should be stuttering". You said that you would feel discomfort from this, but did this cause you to stutter more? Did these questions make you forget your techniques and go back to stuttering? Thank you for your time.
