Self Disclosure Statement Hello all! Have those of you who worked with speech therapists, ever written a self-disclosure statement? The idea is to have something to recite when beginning a more complex talking situation. The goal is to better accept your stutter and to take the pressure off of yourself. I will type mine here and would appreciate anyone sharing their own here too. When would you think it best to practice these? **Self-disclosure statement:** "I am a person who stutters. I am not afraid or nervous to speak. Sometimes words get stuck or I will repeat sounds or words. Please wait for me when I am stuck. Also, stuttering has never changed my work ethic, or ability to perform ay my job."
