Of course I’m going to be angry when so-called coaches force their help onto people who never asked for it slithering into their inboxes as if we’re objects that need “fixing” and financially exploits...

It's interesting that I consider my non-stutterer persona to be my "real self", not the stuttering one. So you're basically talking about being a "happy stutterer", which is great if it comes from a g...
