In addition to the psychotherapy I mentioned, my lifestyle did change. I left a high demand religion I hadn’t believed and had been pretending to embrace for 37 years. The inauthenticity had caused great anxiety and even self loathing. It’s very likely the living a double life had added to my disfluency. Shortly after resolving my religious conflict, my stuttering ended. If there is any unresolved conflict in your life, dealing with the situations can reduce your latent anxiety and enable easier speech. Good luck, Sue
