At the stutter therapy that i went to they believed a stutter has to do ymwith the diaphragm because the diaphragm stutters when you stutter. So they think it's physical and partly psychological. So since i was 11 years old i got thought to make myself believe "i don't stutter anymore" because they believed it would help with curing the stutter if you made yourself believe that. So i actually did make myself believe that for years and years on. So it wasn't just lying to my family. But also lying to myself. Is was more of a journey "keep lying until you're actually cured" but it never got cured. I've always felt like it was my own mistake, because i do believe in being able to cure your stutter, but its hard. Thats why i relapsed especially because i was young at the time. Those 9 years flew by and time to time i still sink into deep regret also just worried about my future. But talking about your regrets in your 20s, what were they?
