Hello and thanks for writing this. I have always stuttered a bit but in the recent year it has gotten much worse. I could say a lot about this so I'll make it short. I work as a consultant and I was on one long project that lasted for about 2 years. Due to the nature of the project, I was quite calm and became very confident. My stuttering just died because I did not think of it at all. I was close to be stutter-free for about one year after that project, then the stutter came back. After that I have had good and bad periods. I think what you write here makes much sense because I did not really stutter when I did not think of it. Now I have bad thoughts and must deal with them.
