I love your analogy of a break up and how you understand your relationship with your voice. In my case it wasn’t so much about not caring about my stutter but rather reframing the relationship I had with my voice and how I approach others when I do stutter! What freed me was being open and honest about having a stutter with those around me. In doing so, it not only allowed me to take back my power over my voice and educate ppl but it also showed me how many ppl are impacted by stuttering directly/ indirectly, and how accepting/ understanding ppl actually are.
