I found relief from stuttering when I discovered that my brain is wired differently than a fluent brain. When I came across the research on the Valsalva response I was able to achieve fluency. I needed to learn how to breathe freely when speaking just like a fluent brain does. This was my path to fluency which may not work for others. It worked for me. What also helped was that I am a speech pathologist with an expertise in brain based learning.
