commentr/StutterAugust 30, 2022

Content

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.
