NSA Connects - Stuttering: Beyond Survival

The narrative has changed; we now know stuttering is okay to do. But for people who stutter, the fear of stuttering can keep us emotionally trapped. Speaking impacts how we see ourselves and the world. The experience of stuttering and even speech therapy can be traumatic.
