Hi Russ
I love your paper. It’s wonderfully straightforward and clear.
As you know, I’m one of the REALLY DENSE ones! Covert, interiorised, 99.9% below the surface, loads of emotional baggage. Incidentally, when I was a small boy my Aunty Eva, who was a tall and frightening woman, told me that I just think too quickly, that’s all. Just as you say in your paper!
Here’s my question. You say that after each intensive 8-week therapy session you would be fluent for about a month and then the stuttering would come back in full force. A month seems a long time to me. I mean, being fluent for a month, when you normally have a significant stutter. So my question is: why do you think the therapy worked AT ALL, let alone for as long as a month?
Looking forward to your reply!
Terry
