You may be right. I am a speech pathologist who has been a lifelong stutterer. I was not able to stutter in public without feeling ashamed and embarrassed. I took the cowardly way out because I was so jealous of fluent speakers. I started by asking myself the question as to why a fluent person does not stutter. I went to work. I started researching the brain how it learns as it relates to fluency. After years of research I found the answer. The fluent speaker has voluntary control over the Valsalva response but I did not. Once I was able to voluntarily control my Valsalva response I was able to become fluent. I never had a relapse. It has been a life changing experience. It would give me great pleasure if I could help others to reach my level of fluency.
