My mom had a moderate stutter and when she turned 14, she told herself that she was done (and her stutter stopped). As for me, my stutter appeared at the age of 5 due to a traumatic dog 🐕 attack and Im 49 now. After 20 years of speech therapy coupled with hypnosis I still have my stutter. I practice mindful meditation daily, I practice diaphragmatic breathing and I read out loud every day. I am a national trainer with a masters degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Married with 1 son. (Just my 2 cents)
