Thanks so much for your words; honestly, they really cleared things up for me. But I've got a question that might be the root of my blocks. I never had a block when I was little, but after 14, I started hating my voice. I have this inner fear—I can't quite describe it—about speaking. Sometimes when I practice reading with my dad, I get it and instantly go from stuttering to speaking fluently. But I don't know how to keep that going because I feel like I have this inner fear—I just can't put my finger on it.
