Mike, I really appreciated your contribution. As an SLP graduate student, I have not yet had much exposure to people who stutter and therefore can only imagine the emotional aspects involved in stuttering. Insight into the person, not just the disorder, will make me a better therapist in the future, so thank you for your help. You had responded to another post mentioning a diagnosis of anxiety. I am curious if the anxiety has always been present or if it arose more recently? From your contribution it sounds as though the speech therapy that you are receiving may be helping to alleviate some of that anxiety. Do you do anything else to help ease it?
