Thanks for your article. I found it really insightful. In reading your article, I found the brief section about the anti-anxiety medicine interesting. I was just wondering if you think using medication to decrease anxiety will help people who stutter or do you think that this may cause a negative reaction? I know a few people who are on anti-anxiety medicine now (not for stuttering) and I know that they are extremely embarrassed because of it and don't want anyone to know. Do you think this would cause someone to stutter more? Also, in regards to cognitive reorganization, do you ever find people who have such deep negative feelings toward their stuttering that it always affects their stuttering?
