I’d love to hear that. The process shouldn’t take long. You should start feeling better after 1 week or even a couple of days if you really zone in on the EMDR therapy, sleeping good, and taking a quick breath with your mouth before you start each sentence. Don’t think when you inhale with your mouth that “people will notice me inhaling every time” no one does! I have over 700+ songs in my playlist and when the artists sing, I noticed that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM inhaled through their mouth before signing their next verse. I also watched politicians speaking and watched their speaking habits, and they too inhale with their mouth before speaking. You might not notice it because it looks so natural, but to us it seems *unnatural* when it really isn’t. I’m 100% fluent now, I took my car to an oil change, went to weddings, job interviews, family outings and haven’t stuttered since I did all the stuff mentioned in the post. You got it my man!!!!
