Are you ready for the step that comes after "i'm done trying to hide it?" I was so good at "hiding" my stutter, a family friend who's a SLP had no clue. But after years, I developed debilitating blocks and secondary behaviors. By doing a very specific kind of hard work, I've had control of my speaking for almost a year. I talk more smoothly and "normallly" than before.
