Jim, nice to hear from you, thanks so much for writing. You wrote, “Most of us enter therapy with the goal of magically becoming a non-stutterer. Breaking down the concept of fluency sounds like a good way to help clients think through their goals.” Interesting points. I totally agree that discussing and breaking down the concept of fluency or fluent speech can help people who stutter explore their speech. I entered therapy hoping that my clinician may have some secret, perhaps magical or medicinal tool that would help, but at the same time, I knew that he did not and that the process of change would require me to work hard.
