Thanks for your detailed and well thought out response. Sorry that I took so long to reply myself, but I have been setting up residence in a new country (I’m nomadic), and covid-19 has made things “interesting”. Firstly, congratulations on what you’ve achieved. Achieving 100% fluency is a great accomplishment, and I think that you should continue sharing your story as much as possible because I’m sure that hearing success stories is really inspiring for other stutterers. I wish myself that I had heard of success stories while growing up as that would have driven me more to strive for fluency. I really like your analogy between glasses and stuttering. I guess I had never thought of it in those terms before. I also can really relate to your experience with fluency being a positive feedback loop. I really feel like my brain has almost rewired itself during the last ten years to the point that much of my stutter has disappeared because the negative feedback loop has been broken. I left the corporate world and all its stresses ten years ago, and I feel that being in a more stress free environment where the triggers for stuttering have been greatly reduced has allowed my brain to rid itself of the stuttering pathway, if that makes any sense. I put it in those terms because I actually don’t use any techniques. I actually just speak now and seldom stutter. It’s almost as if the “habit” and “fear” is gone. I will admit, though, that I’m not actively seeking out situations in which I would stutter, but to be fair, I have given presentations in foreign language classes and other situations, which in the past would have filled me with sheer terror. So I’ve definitely come a long ways. I just saw Joe Biden’s speech on his experience growing up stuttering. That speech in combination with your story have given me hope that perhaps I can actually achieve 100% fluency. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your new job position. I’m sure that given time that you’ll reach fluency in it, too.
