Hi, Elizabeth. I do think I am far more conscious of my own "inner voices", that can make or break me. Even small things like walking into a Starbucks can be a power struggle within myself. Does that make sense? My wanting a pumpkin spice latte trumps my fear that someone might make a face when I order. :) It is hard to put into words, but for a lack of a better picture, it is like I have to cage that little monster in my head that repeats, "you are going to stutter and feel bad for it". I think for me, getting over the shame I felt when I stuttered was a major hurdle. And to be honest, I'm not sure how that shame got so darn big! (sometimes it creeps back!) There is nothing shameful about stuttering. I think that is such a valuable thing to realize. All the best in graduate school. All my best, Stacey
