Kevin- Thanks so much for the message. As an SLP yourself, have you ever done, heard of any research into generalized anxiety and stuttering? I have always believed that emotions are very tied into stuttering. About 20 years ago I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety. Nowadays if my speech starts to break down, It isn't a fear of stuttering like I used to have. That isn't there anymore. It is more of a side effect of anxiety I feel, because I don't really know why the speech mechanism isn't functioning the say I know how to make it. Any thoughts on anxiety related to stuttering?
