Public speaking in high school, college, and church. It was exhausting, but surrendering to the stutter was what helped me. In other words, instead of fighting it, I worked calming myself down and easing through the blocks. I also did sessions with speech pathologists. Granted this may not work for everyone, and it was very emotionally exhausting a lot of the time. It also helped that my church was very supportive and sat through the awkwardness of listening to me. I’m not sure I could have done it without their patience.
