I am currently a speech-pathology grad student and need your help.... I am currently taking a course on stuttering treatment and assessment. The course includes a field project in which we go out in public and stutter to witness people's reactions. I know this may make you mad or offend you, but the reason I am going through with the project is to gain better empathy for clients who have a disfluency. I believe this will make me a more effective speech-language pathologist. My question to you is **what situations do you find the hardest to be in when you stutter??** or, **what social or everyday places give you the most anxiety about your disfluency?**
