I’m a full recovered 5 years ago. My stuttering was emotionally caused and treated by psychotherapy. I had an abusive childhood I'd never dealt with. Now I never give a second thought to speaking. It's just like normally fluent speakers do. I might occasionally have the exact same tiny dysfluencies that everyone else has. Pay attention to ‘normal’ speakers. They all have little things they do. Some stutterers just do those little things most of the time unless they have serious blocking and facial grimaces. Since I'm fluent my entire personality has blossomed. During my psychotherapy, I just noticed one day I no longer stuttered. It was a miracle that took 70 years to happen! Good luck, Sue
