I only think stutter can be overcame just when you feel relaxed, quiet and you're not full of anxiety. I started experience my stutter (in a more serious way than before) two years ago and I remember it was such a tough period of my life. For two years every time I was about to meet a new person it was a real nightmare because I wasn't even able to introduce myself. I mean, tell my name was probably the hardest thing to do. If I was able to do it, the voice coming out was just low and almost unheardable. I mean really, my life has been so tough because of this in the last two years and I used to avoid all the social situations in which I could face someone new. Of course, also the simplest things became so hard, I was afraid of going into a restaurant to order food or in a shop to buy something. Then, just three days ago something happened and I don't know why. I recently have moved to another country for work and I feel more free, I feel I have more self-esteem and this makes me feel better and with less anxiety. So, this is what happened: I went out with a friend of work and a lot of his friends I didn't know were about to come too, so you can imagine what I could feel like. I mean I was going to face one of my worst fear: introduce myself to a lot of new people. But I don't know why, I had ABSOLUTELY NO FEAR, I was able to introduce myself to several people that night like it was the most normal thing in the world and I wasn't using any technique. I felt I was reborn, one of the best feeling I have ever had in my life. I just hope it can keep going like this, I really believe we are our worst enemy when it comes to stutter. It's all in our head. Let's keep fighting!
