This is such a powerful message! thank you for sharing it with us. If you have a moment.. I’d appreciate it if you could share your stutter experience and personal knowledge. When you graduated from university as an SLP, were there any other students who also stuttered (like you did), or were you the only one during your time in the program? So, I’ve read many differing theories about stuttering ([1](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1jmiinr/megacollection_personal_views_on_what_causes/)), and I’ve noticed that SLPs who stutter themselves.. to me at least, seem to bring a unique perspective. I mean, especially when it comes to understanding the deeper layers of our stuttering experience, referring to the self-reinforcing cycle of fluency breakdown. Would you be open to sharing your own thoughts on what you believe keeps us from reaching stuttering remission.. or at least from achieving consistent subconscious fluency? I’ve touched on this topic a bit [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-FHlCJcnt4Mly2_Ubd7ST3xVAifxDjMO/view?usp=sharing) before. I think it’s helpful to separate the factors that predispose someone to develop *stuttering onset* from the ones that prevent *stuttering remission*. How do you understand the bigger picture of the underlying or deepest factors that prevent stuttering remission, in your own personal thoughts? I hope to learn from you, as a fellow stutterer
