Good questions! I did not learn my tricks from anyone but me. Once I began to realize what things I could do to avoid stuttering, and if they worked then they would continue. Over time, I would just do it more and come up with newer tricks and avoidance techniques. I honestly do not know where they came from but maybe that is one of the creative things about me. As far as you treating future patients, as I stated several times, it is best to include both emotional support and therapy together. I truly believe that both work hand in hand and without the emotional part in therapy, the client will not be as successful since the hardest part of stuttering relates to the negative feelings many of us associate with stuttering. Good luck with your career!
