Wonderful article-- I am a Speech Pathology student at NYU and your article really struck me as a "real life" struggle with stuttering. I just had a few questions. Did the speech therapists do fluency training with you during your younger years? And if so, do you feel as though working through your feelings and attitudes towards stuttering would have helped you during the hard times in your life (such as the fear and anxiety of public speaking) instead of just learning techniques to modify your stuttreing? Also, how do you feel your attitude and environment played a role in the stuttering? Thank you so much for your contribution! It really helped me to get an insight on someones personal struggle and acceptance of stuttering.
