I haven't been to speech therapy in a long while :') the trajectory has been a little different from me. When I started college, I fell into the right circle, I suppose, so I started my journey toward healing, that is, not feeling ashamed, but like you said, I still do feel that here and there, though I believe I'm a bit more confident than I was. Yet, nowhere near social haha. It's really weird because I don't quite stutter when I am all alone. Maybe one or two words but very rarely. It's only when there is someone around me that I do. I haven't had good therapy experience, honestly, because my therapists have either been indifferent or haven't really helped though they have tried. I have tried to come up with my own techniques, which sometimes work. Best wishes for all us 💓 I strongly believe that all of us will overcome the shame someday and feel confident in how we talk :D
