Watershed Moments Part 2: how victories transform us

<p>Yesterday I explained the consequences of negative watershed moments that lead to anxiety and fear. &nbsp;A watershed moment is <strong>a turning point, the exact moment that changes the direction of an activity or situation</strong>. &nbsp;A pws can have <strong>victories</strong> that are <strong>positive</strong> watershed moments. &nbsp;Examples are: &nbsp;rewarding moments of public speaking, beginning to disclose that you stutter, learning to advocate and have a "come back" to bullies, or joining the stuttering community. &nbsp;Positive watershed moments ultimately <em>change the meaning of stuttering</em>.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;"Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say." &nbsp;&nbsp;Barbara Kingsolver</p>
