Hi! I'm very interested in that ARTS therapy, can you elaborate on it more? In the past I used to believe stuttering could be overcome and I struggled a lot with it. Then I found the term "open stuttering" as you've mentioned and now I disclose my stutter every now and then. But still, I anticipate stuttering and it's mentally quite tiring. I'd be certainly stuttering as a kid, without effort!
