@stutterverse Yes. If we can find that in life, we can find it in stuttering. Absolutely.

Here’s an anchoring exercise you can use if your mind is wandering: Become aware of your body’s touch points—the small areas, about the size of a quarter. In the small gap between your in-breath and out-breath, focus on these points of contact; picture them, feel them.

Re-emerging after bunkering in to heal from physical trauma and cognitive dissonance. Writing with passion and discernment in balance. Relaxing into maturity and modernity.

Maintaining speech rate and rhythm most comfortable to me has been challenging this past week while adjusting to new stressors but do-able with focused attention.

[Ellen-Marie Silverman @TSSS920499]

Listening can be harder than speaking.
