Communication Workshop at Work Today I had a communications workshop in Work planned for today. This has been on the calender for weeks and as each day's elapsed coming up to today I felt more dread and hopelessness. Last night I spent the whole night up worried about what may happen today. Would I be made speak in front of my peers? Would I stutter or block in fortn of them? All of these emotions that I'm sure all of you know far too well. I even went so far as to nearly calling in sick or saying I couldn't make it due to some unforseen circumstance. I had to really dig deep for the courage to show up today. Well here I am now, the workshop is over and it didn't go perfectly but definitely didn't go as bad as I thought I would going into it. I suppose I just wanted to share my story as I often find I overplay and overthink social situations in my head and then in reality the situation is never as bad as I though it would be. I am proud of myself for not shying away today and maybe as people who stutter we need to face the problem more head on than what we are used to in order to become comfortable with who we are. Does anybody else relate to this?
