Ok, I just read your 2005 ISAD article, SHENPA, STUTTERING, AND ME. I must say, it grabbed my attention. I am new to owning my stuttering, as you may recall from last year, as I was extremely covert until May 2006, so for well over 30 years. During these last 3 years, I have been stuttering more and differently, than I was when trying to hide it all of the time. Interestingly, I saw a therapist soon after finally talking about stuttering, and she encouraged me to study mindfulness,and I read 2 of Zabat's books. But I was not focusing on stuttering then, I was focusing on symptom relief from a traumatic event. But even then, I saw the potential of a mindful approach to stuttering. So, yes, this idea of SHENPA makes good sense now. I get hooked, and immediately try to fight it. Thats what I need to be more mindful of. Thanks again. I have printed it out.
