I really enjoyed reading your story. It was absolutely inspirational. I am currently taking a class in stuttering and was wondering if you felt as though the Fluency Shaping program that you participated in early on, failed you in some way? We’re taught in school that such programs generally do not address the fears and negative perspectives & feelings associated with stuttering. This seems like such an important part of the process. Do you believe that that is why your stuttering continued to come back with a “vengence”? From your story, it seems as though it was only until you addressed your fears head on with NSA meetings and Toast Masters that your life as a person who stutters greatly improved. I really must compliment you. It takes a brave person to stand up and face your greatest fears, and then to go on to influence the lives of others. Wow, you are an inspiration to us all!
