I equated this to my thoughts on chasing dreams and less people. The amount of space I take up in my head thinking about other people, anywhere from crushes to wishing my life was like theirs is doing nothing to better my own life.
Hi there Iman! Thank you for reading my piece and I'm glad you liked it.
Your therapist has a really good point. The one time I went to therapy they said something similar. I stammer more around my family (because of the heightened anxiety to not stutter) vs strangers or friends.
My grandma actually noticed when I talk about family that I tend to stutter more. So personally perhaps it just induces more anxiety and stress that makes me stutter more. It is something I am still figuring out.
