Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

Indeed, that is useful, thank you.  What gave you the insight you needed to stop?  Have you stopped completely?

Basically, I was able to see how a child subconscious would think a mechanism like that is helpful through my adult eyes. However, as an adult I saw how it makes no logical sense to hold on to something like that and it allowed me to let go of my mom on a deeper level. I could feel my brain rewiring the entire time. 


Yeah, I’ve stopped completely. There are some words I anticipate getting stuck on and then when I say them I don’t get stuck anymore. 

I’ve also stopped biting my nails and picking at the skin around them and just feel like a calmer person overall.

But what specifically triggered that change that led you to overcome stuttering?  Was it one thing specifically, or a cumulative of several things?  And if so, what?  If I understand that it will be helpful for me to find more clues to what to do to trigger the same thing with a subliminal.
