>But this therapist was late 20s, just graduated, and very friendly and helpful. This led to all sessions feeling more like an hour of talking and catching up than therapy. So I'm curious, what did she do that was helpful for you? Why, other than your rapport, was she the best? In contrast, my favorite therapist was a man i worked with in my early 20s. He was probably 40 years my senior. His explanatory style of the physiology of the moment of stuttering was in a form I had not heard before. He was kind and grandfatherly and didn't rely on programmatic therapy (I should say is, I saw him just last year). Rather our conversation was about the nature of stuttering, current struggles and strategies to help me be successful.
