It was just regular psychotherapy. My stutter had been mild my entire life but did prevent me from working in my field, psychology, after university because I was very self-conscious. Luckily I married a professional man and never had to be employed. I was able to be a full-time wife and mother. In those days being a homemaker was totally acceptable plus there wasn't the same acceptance of diversity in the workforce as today. My psychotherapist had a hunch my anxiety and depression might have been related to my childhood which was truly abusive. I thought I just sucked it up because I had an ideal happy, long-term marriage of 49 years. Once we dealt with my childhood, I had been experiencing latent anger and disappointment, within a year or so I realized I no longer stuttered. My stuttering was emotionally caused and emotionally remedied. Stuttering has many different causes, both physical and emotional. Because we are often unaware of early traumas, it can be useful to evaluate our lives to determine if earlier trauma might have contributed to, or triggered dysfluency. In my case, I was aware of my abusive childhood. Others might have suffered a contributing event and have no memory until therapy can reveal it. Good luck Forward_Sky, Sue
