My friend. Please allow me to be blunt and don’t be offended. You can’t reside within fear forever. This is exposure therapy. I forced myself into similar situations (working in the medical field, taking in person classes, etc.) That gave me no option of avoidance. We stutter. It’s apart of us. It’ll always be frustrating and nerve wrecking. I sometimes question my ability and my future. But again… We cannot reside within fear. We cannot allow our speech to dictate our future.
