Joined this sub mainly for my daughter who has a stutter. I love this perspective so much. I think a lot of the therapies have changed in the last few decades to have more of the approach that you have. The SLP we took her to told us she’s helped many of her clients put together presentations to give to their class at the beginning of their school year, essentially to remove the shame and pressure they feel from others. The presentations are basically “Hi, I’m [name]. I have a stutter. It may take me a little longer to say what I need to say. If you have any questions about it, ask me.” It’s supposed to remove the elephant from the room, so to speak. She also talked a lot about how we can give her the tools she needs to overcome a block, but even more important is establishing her identity and what she believes about herself so she has the confidence to keep going despite a stutter. Anyway. I see a lot of that in your responses as well. Thank you so much for sharing.
