Hi Liza. Thanks for your comments. And good to hear you attend self help group meetings, as there's where you can learn what's not in the books. Some people stutter a lot and couldn't care less, others hardly stutter and all and are living in constant fear. And there's so much "luggage" that's needs to be dealt with as well, not just the spech itself. But the positive stories, the help and understanding from people who havebeen-there-done-that is such a gret complement to treatment! It's a win-win situation for all. getting the feeling you're not alone is so important to us all, and as you say, also fluent people can benefit from the life lessons we are learned. To not give up. To love and respect yourself. And to even have a laugh at it to gain new strength. Thanks for caring and sharing as that makes you a fantastic SLP! Happy ISAD! Anita
