Hi there. I'm a speech therapist who works with clients who stutter. A couple of questions for you: \-It sounds like this only happens when you have to talk about specific topics or memories, is that accurate? Are there any other situations you can think of where your speech gets genuinely stuck and/or you repeat syllables? \-On that note, is it mostly that nothing will come out (called blocks), repeating part or whole words (called repetitions), or that you carry out a continuous sound, for example /s/, too long like 'sssssssssssssssssssssnake' (called prolongations). Or is it a mix of all of these? \-How old were you when you first noticed this started and how long has it been since?
