I tried to do voluntary stuttering in public. I was way too embarrassed to do it. I decided to study fluent speakers as to why they do not stutter. I discovered that they do not initiate the Valsalva response when speaking. I worked very hard to be able to voluntarily control my Valsalva response. When I was able to gain control I was then able to become fluent. Never had a relapse.
