God I hate when people misunderstand it. But I will say, in high school I had a great speech therapist. I didn’t want to go to her at first, but she was insistent on helping me. She greatly helped my stutter and I use a lot of here techniques to this day. It was just me and her. No one else. I wish I had someone like her on my bad days. I know it’s annoying when they don’t understand, but if you have a chance to get speech therapist, I’d recommend it. It really did help me. Best wishes ✌️
