Hi, Jeanne

I have never met such a person. I have met some "coverters" who claim to be satisfied, so long as they are in less stressful situations where they are temporarily "successful" at hiding it, but they face so much guilt and shame and denial that they are really not happy or satisfied in the long run. Unlike Chris, who has rounded the corner, they are still trying to 'dream the impossible dream.'

This is why I continue to maintain that merely counting the "frequency" of stuttering moments is a poor indicate of severity in the first place, and in the final analysis, an equally poor indicator of "recovery."

Thanks for our comment.
