Hi Kathy, this is Brian Walden.
I've been doing great since i left the clinic. I feel as though I've really
taken away the importance of paying attention to the psychological aspects
of stuttering. Right now I'm especially working on convincing myself that I
can have moments when i stutter and still be in control of my speech.
Things are going great. I just went to my first toastmasters tonight. I was
really nervous in the beginning when everyone had to go around the room and
introduce themselves. But when it was my turn instead of panicking i took a
few seconds to center myself, something which i'd usually be way too nervous
to do, and things went well from there. I even signed up to be the
grammarian for the next meeting. I'd love to help out with educating
people, or anything else involved with the fundraiser or project.
Unfortunately i won't be able to make it to the fall refresher, it's parents
weekend at school.
