Nikki- Thank you for your question. First of all, you should know that I do not stutter. I am a professor/clinician who specializes in stuttering. That qualification, however, does not make me immune from grappling daily with self-esteem issues. Each of us must work on the kinds of things I mentioned in my article to maintain healthy self-esteem. And just as there are many people who do not stutter who have low self-esteem, there are many people who stutter who have healthy self-esteem. Hence, the message is, never assume one or the other in a PWS. Jennifer
