I appreciate the response but I don’t think I have social anxiety. When I think about the med school interview I do, I was just so nervous because I didn’t get enough practice considering my stutter. Outside of high stress situations, I’m pretty fluent. I do agree with your stance about not labeling my speech and talking with no stakes attached. That’s my current approach now, I have a voice and I’m going to use it. I think the embarrassment is temporary. I used this approach with my previous sales job. When I compare my fluency from when I started till the end of my contract, it’s night and day. Thanks for the response! I’ll definitely check those books out!
