Very impressive. So I assume your blocking diminished as your fear decreased over those 4 months? What is it like now to think about stuttering? Is there any residual shame/fear left? Are you ever afraid it will come back? In moments when you felt anxious or low over the past 2 years, have you noticed any anticipated feelings of stuttering? What I’ve noticed in fluent people and stutterers who have overcome it, they almost view stuttering as a complete non-issue. Like they really internalize in a fully embodied way the notion of “who cares if I stutter?” I’ve tried emdr on my own and find it really hard to focus on both the feeling/sensations/memory and the ball. It’s like I constantly have to think about the memory again and find the feeling/sensations of the anxiety but then it vanishes in a few seconds again. Any tips here? Would you only focus on the anticipated anxious feeling before a block or also the processing of sensations and feeling at the moment/aftermath of the block?
