I was amazed to read just how influential one’s self-image is on their stuttering. As a master student studying to become a SLP, I find that your biography really teaches the importance of the SLP to develop a positive self-image in their clients. I was curious about a few points that you made. You wrote that in 2000 you acquired some new tools. What specific therapy strategies did you learn? You also wrote that “stuttering has now disappeared from your mind,” and you no longer have to think about your stuttering techniques. I wanted to know if the stuttering techniques you learned has so become part of your daily speaking that you no longer have to deliberately concentrate on doing them or if changing your self-image was sufficient and you really don’t need to employ these techniques any longer.
