Managed to say my name today fluently Hi, I had such an interesting experience today. I’m a 27 year old male. I was on vacation and I met someone and said “hi, I’m ____. I’m _____’s son”. It was insane and the reason why I’m excited is because I feel like I uncovered something about myself today. Things that have helped me get hear: (they’ve all played a tiny role but I never planned on using these things or actively looked for solutions) 1. The happiness trap by dr russ Harris and act 2. Writing and journaling 3. A quote - we stutter when we don’t give ourselves the option of stuttering. I read it while checking out ‘self therapy for the stutterer’. A free book that’s available here for free. I only read the introduction of the book 4. Yoga and mindfulness in really connected with my body and moving away from my thoughts Hope this helps. Please ask me anything you want to. (I wanna make it clear that this experience was not a life changing sort of remarkable experience. It was just a cool one)
