I would like to agree to disagree. I am a speech pathologist with an expertise in brain based teaching and learning. I spent over 20 years researching how the brain learns. I discovered that my brain is wired differently than a fluent speaker’s brain. I spent years researching and studying the fluent speaker. When I discovered the Valsalva response I knew I found the answer I was searching for. I am finally stutter free. I was able to rewire my brain to mimic the brain of a fluent speaker. I have never had a relapse.
