Roisin,

You stutter fluently! You´ve got a nice way of talking. Be and stay true to yourself. i know from experiance that first you have to embrase your stuttering. Don´t see yourself as a stutterer but as a person who stutters. That´s a major difference believe me. The only way to achieve more fluency is to become friends with the ´anemy´ and together find a way out.

By the way.. there´s nothing wrong with stuttering. but if you wanne change it don´t fight it.

Thanks for the comments. That's a great observation Burt. It is interesting that, although we work with people who stutter, our therapy often addresses factors separate from fluency.

There is a very clear improvement in Roisin's fluency along the videos, and it's really striking on that one. I appreciate that fluency is maybe not the core focus of Roisin's therapy, but still, it's good to see that it is there as at least a nice to have!
