CJ - I don't believe in giving advice, but here's what I can offer. Like me, a covert stutterer needs to trust those inner voices that are saying "It's time". That came to me time after time, even before I was fired - I just knew I didn't want to keep this a secret anymore. When a covert is ready, I think he/she will know it. Take little steps - it doesn't have to be huge things like I did all at once, but then build on the little things. And really work on de-sensitizing self, practice voluntary stuttering until you have removed the emotion and shame from it. Hope this helps! --Pam
