I never used his therapy or strategies. I used his research which helped me to find my pathway to fluency. I am a speech pathologist with an expertise in teaching to the brain. I understand the concept of neuroplasticity and how to rewire a brain. From my research I understood that I have a stuttering brain which is wired differently than a fluent brain. The fluent brain does not activate the Valsalva response when speaking so they don’t stutter. My brain does activate the Valsalva response causing me to stutter. I was able to transform my brain into a fluent brain which allowed me to become free of stuttering. I have never had a relapse.
