Getting involved in stuttering support groups can be a great way to increase confidence. The national stuttering association has chapters around the US, as well as virtual/online support group meetings. The Blank Center for Stuttering through the U. of Texas website (especially their YouTube [channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/utstuttering)) is also an awesome resource - they have lots of videos of people sharing their experiences with stuttering. I definitely see what you're saying with your experiences with speech therapy...what settings/practices did you receive therapy in? A lot of SLP's just go with traditional stuff that's always been done (techniques/tricks) because they don't know any better, and then others are aware that techniques are largely unhelpful & acceptance-based therapy is better but struggle to know how to implement it. One practical tip that might be helpful is to have a small, wallet-size card on hand when you're having more significant stuttering moments. [Here's](https://www.stutteringhelp.org/sites/default/files/I_Stutter_Cards.pdf) a pre-made one from the stuttering foundation, or you could make your own! I stutter as well and am an SLP, and being in the field has provided me with an awesome avenue to grow in confidence and connect with the stuttering community, all in a safe space (that's been my experience, although I know some SLP's who stutter have reported some frustrations even in the SLP space). If you're looking for a career that's definitely something to consider! Feel free to DM me as well, I'm happy to chat. Good luck with everything!
