As a hypnotist and former stutterer myself, I can say your experience isn't surprising. The need to know and not trust what we don't know is a trait shared by many stutterers. Part of the issue with speaking is the fear of not being in control of our own speech, which ends up being a kind of self-hypnosis. We expect it and fear it, and our bodies take it as a suggestion and make it so.
