Yesterday I explained the consequences of negative watershed moments that lead to anxiety and fear.  A watershed moment is a turning point, the exact moment that changes the direction of an activity or situation.  A pws can have victories that are positive watershed moments.  Examples are:  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.  Positive watershed moments ultimately change the meaning of stuttering.
