Are you located in the US? If you are, I recommend the American Institute for Stuttering. There is the option to receive financial assistance for those who can’t afford the full price. I’ve been working with my speech therapist since mid September and a lot of our work has been focused on my feelings and how I think about myself and stuttering. I think this is an important aspect that many speech therapists overlook because there’s such a psychological component to it. Like the more I think about it, the worse it gets and no amount of deep breathing will get me through that moment. In fact, I think deep breathing can (sometimes) make it worse. Please message me if you want any more info or just want to talk. I’m rooting for you.
