I remember reading on an...This is a good question.<br /><br />I remember reading on another blog about the idea of "roles." Meaning there are times when we stutter less because we are currently in a certain role.<br /><br />For me, I find that I stutter a lot less when I'm helping someone else.<br /><br />So if I'm helping a friend ask for information or helping a coworker negotiate a deal, I don't stutter as much. In a way, when my "role" is to be a guide or advocate, my fear is reduced because I feel a greater responsibility to successfully help them.<br /><br />So these days before I approach a situation, I try to put my mind in a place where I'm "helping someone else."<br /><br />Now it does't always work but it does calm my nerves quite a bit :)JJnoreply@blogger.com
