Happy it could resonate with you! Actually, my speech therapist is a graduate student so I work close with them and the university during my counseling. We’re discussing having me come in some time to speak with their speech pathologist students to give them insight into the mindset of someone who stutters! Super cool opportunity. End goal is to speak at conventions/conferences relating to my field and incorporate my stutter to help de-stigmatize the notion that “People who stutter are anxious because they don’t know what they’re taking about.”. On the g*d-damn contrary. Me personally, I stutter because I DO know what I’m talking about, but I’m terrified I’ll stumble and you’ll think I don’t know anything.
