For me, that was the real turning point. I wanted to feel as free with others as I do when I’m alone with myself. To get rid of shyness, shame, guilt, insecurity, and the constant worry about what others might think. Stuttering is just a consequence. I’d suggest focusing not on the stuttering itself, but on your inner state. Even if you didn’t stutter, your condition still wouldn’t be truly healthy. Too often, we focus on the visible part of the problem instead of its core.
