Same here. I am 49 years old, a United States Air Force Veteran, I have a master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, married with 1 son AND I am a national trainer. My stutter started as a result from a traumatic dog attack at the age of 5. I've had 20 years of speech therapy coupled with hypnosis. My daily routine consists of: (1) Mindful meditation- 10 mins (2) Read out loud - 10 mins (3) Practice diaphragmatic breathing My biggest breakthrough is LEARNING to not focus on my stutter; I focus on breathing 😤. The more you think about your stutter, the more you are going to stutter. The more you focus on life and NOT your stutter, you stutter less. PWS are COURAGEOUS, CREATIVE, RESOURCEFUL & RESILIENT.
