That's what I thought at first. I thought I had a normal childhood. I thought my past was fine and normal. Nothing wrong. But I started investigating my thoughts and feelings when I was stammering. What was I feeling? Why? I have a 'diary' where I recorded my thoughts. At first, I was blank. I had nothing. But I continued 'researching' myself. I wasn't doing this just for my stammer. I also struggled with other problems like anxiety. I wanted to understand all the problems I struggled with. What I have been writing down has changed a lot. I have many 'findings' that I wrote down when I thought I understood it. They are wrong, but I didn't understand it well back then. It took time. You can't learn yours in one day as well. No one can properly read and learn an entire self-help book in a single day, right? 😅
