Yes and no, I have stuttered since childhood and still do. However, I have purposely (not always willingly) exposed myself to situations in which I know I will severely stutter (mainly due to heightened anxiety) e.g. work meetings , presentations and talking among large crowds. Don’t get me wrong , these are not nice moments (some horrific in fact) , but it has normalised stuttering in low pressure moments and help me gain confidence with managing my stutter in everyday talk
