I think the tension in my throat went away

I think the tension in my throat went away I used to feel a physical feeling in my throat and mouth when I stutter. I realized recently that I've still been stuttering, but without any tension. I can't really explain what it feels like now. I start talking and it just happens, but it doesn't really feel like anything in my throat. I also used to always be able to tell before I would stutter because I would feel it in my throat, but I've noticed recently I've been stuttering without being able to tell beforehand or feelings any tension. I feel like this is a good thing for me because i hate the feeling of tension and i hate knowing and anticipation before i stutter. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
