I'm reading it, it applies to me. I don't stutter at home when I'm on my own. I stutter even when visiting my family but not while alone. Now I'm in a bad period, about a year. I'm retired. I didn't stutter at all when I was for 2 years in boarding school because I was with my friends company 24 hours a day. I know I have a hereditary inclination for stutter but my different psychological state in my life would somehow throw me into bad periods or good periods. So now I have to work intensely on the positive autosuggestions, etc. I'm looking forward that it will make me more composed in other areas in my life as well. I'm in my early 70 ties now. I'm very happy and thankful about my family and my life. People around me are nice. This my neurosis and particular anxiety is seems like the only way to give me a real challenge in my, otherwise good life. I'm wishing to young people all the best on their way of finding a healthy relaxed life.
