Hi Dan, You really do express yourself well. I think the point is that it always is hard to interpret what is going on inside of another person. Some people are more comfortable stuttering openly. Some become more confident using fluency facilitating controls. The point is that you are doing what seems right for you. You probably know that a speech-language pathologist can help guide you in this process. That you are experiencing a reduction in embarassment and anxiety indeed is huge. Success can be measured in many ways. Reduction in negative feelings is an important marker for you. I’m in the Czech Republic now for events related to ISAD. In addition to taking part in different types of treatment, I am learning from others who are engaged in music, art, drama, exercise, and more to become more comfortable being who they are and expressing themselves in varied ways. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. David
