NICK: Overcoming My Stutter
Posted in CRAZYWISE Conversations Personal Journeys of Transcendence and Healing, Finding Meaning and Purpose through Suffering
Like so many who have suffered a psychological crisis Nick had an experience where he felt his mind and heart had opened to an expanded sense of reality—what he called a wider more colorful vision. He felt this opening offered him a new freedom from obsessive, controlling and limiting thoughts. This gave him more confidence in social situations, especially with his speech. He lost the crippling aspect of his severe, lifelong stutter and was able to speak clearly for the first time.
I was reminded of an interview with Paul Stamets, a world-renowned mycologist, in which he described losing his lifelong stutter while under the influence of psilocybin mushrooms.
