Well I do know some excellent SLPs who are pws, but I think I know even more who aren't. And they totally get it. Oftentimes I think they get it better than me, so dont count them out. Being fluent isn't what qualifies someone. I mean covert stutterers the world over disguise themselves to everyone in their lives. Oftentimes they do it so well that even their siblings dont know. If she doesn't understand that or see that then I dont know. It's also weird to hear a therapist being disappointed that you have trouble doing something. I think you have the right idea though. The conference should open up a lot and stuttertalk is a super great resource. Go back through the episodes and also check out the B team episodes. The one thing I will add and im still learning this myself, is that you dont need to try to not feel embarrassed or disappointed. These are normal feelings we all feel. So rather than trying to avoid them, I think it's healthier to accept them for what they are and know that they are ok. I used to think feeling the shame or embarrassment was the most painful thing; but it doesn't have to be. I can still be embarrassed (since im human) and just not let it take over. I was taught to "sit in the shame/embarrassment/disappointment". Take it in the present moment and just be ok with it. And in time it will be less and less powerful.
