Morning everyone - having experimented with voluntary stuttering, it has forced me to evaluate my speech and my fears. I used to dread stuttering and would spend all day worrying about how bad the day would be speech-wise - as I am sure some of you have also done in the past or even still do to this opresent day. With voluntary stuttering, I am probably stuttering on MORE occasions each day, but I am controlling it a hell of a lot more and I am becoming more and more comfortable with it. As a result of this, my INVOLUNTARY stuttering is becomg LESS frequent. So, this has made me ask myself the question : is the problem stuttering itself or losing control of my speech ? I stutter more now (maybe!) but it is nowhere near as big of an issue. I am confronting it. Not hiding away from it. Take it on ! Over to you...........
