Oh I completely agree. I used to be pre-law before I watched the movie "My Cousin Vinny" and I changed my major to psychology. There's many things that my stutter controlled, interrupted and derailed. However, after I stopped fighting it and paid less and less attention to it, then I noticed my fluency improved. I still stutter and have blocks but after 20 years of speech therapy coupled with hypnosis and meditation, I'm at 90% fluency. I'm married with one son, I hold a masters degree and I am now a national trainer. Live your life and stop focusing on your stutter.
