  1. Nora,

    Thank you for sharing the experience of compassion for yourself. It hit home in a way that it reminded me that I generally think of compassion for myself last and other first. It’s always a lesson and you have reminded me to pause for myself.

    Thank you,

  2. Thank you Nora! My take-away is remembering that stuttering is a choice. I am currently doing research about resilience- the ability to overcome a hardship and change the outcome. While I may suffer, I’m changing how it impacts my life- from sadness to strength.
    Anrazos!

  3. Dear Nora-

    Thank you for this post. You have spoken with me about being compassionate with myself and others, and how these go hand in hand. At times I still feel self-critical when my speech is not fluent. To take a moment for self-care can help so much.

  4. Thank you Nora,you are a role model for me.

    My name is Hella , I’m from East Africa , Ethiopia, I’m 29 years old. It was not easy for me to get any group who can talk about stuttering in my country or on internet but luckily today i got this conference website and i joined, i’m happy that i’m not alone. I also stutter and it was hard for me at school, college and specially at work place and in my social life, but I still believe that I can do and achieve many things in my life.

    The hardest part for me is that people don’t understand what stuttering is.

    Thank you!
