Thank you for sharing your inspiration story! I’m currently a graduate student working on my masters in Speech Language Pathology. I think your personal story can be great motivation for people who stutter to not give up and try to find the techniques that work best for them. I really like your statement from the article: “I had to change my perspective about my stuttering, become a more positive thinker, focus on not giving up, and committing to change.” I know clinicians in the past have ignored talking about feelings and emotions with people who stutter, but I think it’s important. I think a clinician should help the person deal with his/her thinking about stuttering first. Your hard work, strength, and determination is an inspiration to all!
