I really appreciate you getting back to me and sharing your story. I fully understand the need to prioritise those whose stutter is much more debilitating and this is how I was when I was a lot younger. Counselling has been a good help but I don’t know that I feel I’ve progressed much in terms of self-acceptance. I think because my stammer has re-emerged more recently, my confidence is taking a knock each time and that’s why I was thinking of exploring SLT again. But after reading your reply I think you’re probably right in that continued counselling to dig into the self-acceptance issue and alternative coping mechanisms like DAF are the way to go. Thanks so much!
