A bit of exposure therapy and intentionally putting myself in uncomfortable situations. But more than that, it’s was deciding to think like a confident, in-control adult instead of a fearful, out-of-control child. It’s a very empowering moment to realize that you are okay being who you are, warts, imperfections, stuttering and all. When you fully accept who you are, you don’t need to fight yourself so hard. Stuttering is like a manifestation of that battle in your mind. If you can find peace in your mind, a lot of these things will smooth out.
