Thank you very much for the personal information that you shared. While I know I can never fully understand, each story that I hear helps me better relate to people who stutter. So many emotions are tied up in stuttering, and I thank you for sharing your feelings and your struggles.
I found it interesting that you avoid some words and sentences that you feel you are going to block on. Do you feel the avoidances prevent you from fully expressing yourself or is it a successful strategy that is helping you to be a more effective communicator? Are there any other strategies regarding stuttering that you use as a public speaker?
Thanks again for sharing your story!
