commentr/StutterOctober 19, 2019

Content

I'm a psychiatrist. I actually don't stutter at all when I see patients or talk to nurses, but I do struggle on the phone when I have to call pharmacies, government agencies, etc. I cope by trying not to be too hard on myself and reminding myself that I don't have to be perfect. Sometimes I will tell the person on the other end of the phone that I have a stutter, and they've almost always been understanding and even apologetic if they were short with me earlier. Overall, I really love what I do!
