thank you so much for taking the time to respond—it really means a lot. What you shared lines up with the general idea I had, but it’s genuinely reassuring to hear it directly from you. If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear your personal take on something that’s been on my mind lately. There’s been a lot of conversation around some newer stuttering theories focusing on the approach-avoidance conflict—how it might actually be what holds us back from achieving stuttering remission. Hence my earlier recommendation to differentiate between factors of stuttering onset (eg genetics, risk factors), and factors that prevent stuttering remission. I’ve been listening to a few voices like Paul, PhD ([\#1 ](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-FHlCJcnt4Mly2_Ubd7ST3xVAifxDjMO/view?usp=sharing)and [\#2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wlQUzx-fzXh4KGxNKSq4g3e974YcYhkA/view?usp=sharing)), SLP Matthew ([\#3](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vf2RrvsMEFyVdhGYhGguT9v83yxxEpom/view?usp=sharing)) and Evan, PhD ([\#4](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vhwa6vdphscbS3beajCWBZhRkraPsEwjm8AI497Q8og/edit?usp=sharing)). I find some of their insights pretty thought-provoking, and I’d really value hearing your perspective, if you’re open to it. Thanks again, and I truly appreciate your response of today!
