>And missed my point. I agree with your positive effects to speak slowly: * learning to accept that you have a right to talk * feeling ok to take up space * giving opportunities to take deep breathes * speaking more clearly * **edit: more attractive to anyone** ​ >"I’m actually saying that many AWS probably speak too fast (and mumble, cause themselves more pressure, etc)." I agree with you. I concur completely. ​ >"I’m also just saying to begin talking slowly. " Would you agree with this negative effect: "by saying that you begin talking slowly, you make the stutter disorder real in your mind?" If you remove 'NEED', would you agree with the negative effects posted?
