Speech therapists are there to take advantage of us. When I was at my most vulnerable when I was just a little kid, my speech therapist at school implemented this system where she told my friends to sharply remind me that I stuttered if I ever stutter, even if it’s barely at all. Being scolded and reprimanded every single time I stumbled over my words made me hyper sensitive to other people and caused me to feel constant fear and anxiety when talking to people. Still lasts today. It’s like I’m always waiting for someone to interrupt me and go “YOU STUTTERED.” Years after I stopped seeing the speech therapist. Speech therapists can fuck you up.
