CARYN HERRING, JOEL KORTE and ROISIN MCMANUS of the StutterTalk B Team discuss a listener’s email on today’s show.
Paul writes StutterTalk and shares, “I had an interview last week in which I locked up and talking became difficult. I didn’t get the job I think…I think I have been trying to chase the fluency God and this put too much pressure on me. What role did voluntary stuttering play in your recovery? Joe Sheehan once said that a stutterer will remain one as long as he pretends not to be one. I have always shyed away from this exercise. Your words of wisdom would be appreciated.”
