Thank you. For the past 2 months, I have been making on average 40 phone calls / face to face questions per day. This has contributed to a less fearful existence and my confidence is growing. Some calls / face to face contacts are good, some not so. This was difficult at first to accept - now I move onto the next one and dont worry about it so much. I am trying to release 20 years of negativity and fear - so I realise this will not be fixed overnight. Fear is still there and sometimes I forget my techniques etc, but this is a work in progress and I can slowly see progress being made. My favourite technique's / methods are ssssliding into words and also dropping voluntary sta-stammers into conversation. If you havent tried voluntary stammering - i wholeheartedly recommend it. It completely changed my outlook on stammering and helped me gain more control in my speech - with more control on its way. I could carry on writing but you may have fallen asleep by now so I shall stop !
