I had a therapist who ran a group was obsessed with disclosing, pseudo stuttering exercises to get comfortable stuttering publicly, and generally owning your stutter h exercising words like “speech impediment.” He downplayed any negative consequences caused by stuttering - a romantic partner being turned off, turned down for a job after a rough interview, etc - as being “in your head, there could be another reason, you never know.“ Worse therapist ever.
