Hi, Resident_Frame, I think you are referring to my comment that I still talk to myself? We’ll, I stuttered most of my life age 5-70. Because we stutterers often don’t stutter when talking to ourselves or a pet, I would sometime restate what I had just said in my head or ever outwardly verbalized what I had previously had trouble saying. Now, even after 5 years of total fluency, I still rehearse to myself what I’ve just spoken. My family catches me talking to myself all the time! IF you are referring to my becoming fluent through psychotherapy, I had an abusive childhood and had been carrying around latent anger and resentment all my life. I sought therapy for lifelong depression and anxiety and in that process, discovered I no longer stuttered at all. I also had been leading an inauthentic life, pretending to believe in a high demand religion for the sake of supporting my wonderful husband. My pretense became toxic to me and through reclaimed self worth, I was able to detach from thar religion which also happened at the same time my stuttering ended. I was no longer depressed, anxious, angry, or physically I also lose the stutter. My childhood WAS actuality abusive and being relieved of that lifetime of resentment, finding new self worth, changed my speech too. Sue
