Jackie, immediately I just needed someone to acknowledge all that stuttering can be, how it can impact one's life, and Marybeth did that immediately. I think I needed this because no one had ever talked with me openly about it. But as I said, she also immediately put me to work on acceptance and small steps to start being more open about it so that I could learn it didn't have to be so big in its impact anymore. That I could learn to live confidently and project confidence with stuttering. Marybeth has a very calm, gentle, yet firm and optimistic presence. She can listen but also move a client forward gently. Thank you for reading my paper/story. Hannah
