Thanks for the response. For the kids question. Sometimes i think ( i think about my future a lot lol), what if my kids learn the mechanics of speech the wrong way because of me? If I had a child that stuttered and it was because of me i don't know how i would be able to live with myself because i know how debilitating it is. Do any of your clients have children and how has it been like for them? The career i'm getting into will have a component where i'm required to speak, mainly phones. It's a risky move, but I need to go towards my fear with the theory that it will motivate me to improve and by extension the quality of my life as well.
