Hi Pam, I have tried self help groups both on the web and locally in and around Birmingham in the UK where I live. I didn't want to live with any longer with the stuttering feelings any longer. I would still leave the self help group and put of making that tell call or contact. I was living a life of a coward and was keeping me feeling depressed whenever I attempted to push my comfort zones. I would think about stuttering and the negative thoughts it brought me 24/7. I think I needed to be ME and not part of any group, it's not the group I couldn't live with, it was my stuttering feelings. I could talk positivity to anyone, but once I was on my own, I would let the stutter get the better of me, every time, all the while. I put 9 years out of 11 into costal breathing to still feel (at times of stress) ashamed of myself for being a coward. It's not the stutter I was ashamed of It was the stuttering feelings. I had to put an end to feeling a coward and start telling the truth about my real deep down feelings. Hope that helps Pam? it's hard to put into words how I felt so trapped and I knew I had to do the one thing I hatted and that was stutter hour after hour day after day lasting 2 long weeks. Regards Richard, PS, keep up the good work on your pod casts
