Yes. I do understand my father's perspective because if it's that simple "use the method for a year, suffer and you will be cured for the rest of your life" then he said it for my own good. Because he...

Will do! I hope it doesn't happen but now that I know that the dream could be a trigger then maybe I'm better prepared? I just have to avoid being pulled over by cops now haha....

I don't know whether i should say this or not but That exact thing happened to me few years back when i stuttered so badly in my dream like what u described ( i never stuttered that hard in my life ...

Yes, I realized the same some time ago. However, I believe the trauma is not in the stuttering itself, but in the experience of others’ reactions and the shame associated with it. It’s a form of CPTSD...

I often consciously distract myself - or the person I'm talking to - with lots of gestures when speaking, for example. I feel more comfortable talking when I'm moving, like walking, rather than sittin...
