I'm sorry to hear that you're not getting the help you need from your speech therapist. It can be frustrating when the professional you're working with doesn't seem to understand your unique situation.Here are some steps you can take to address the situation: 1. Have an open and honest conversation with your speech therapist. Let them know that you appreciate their efforts, but that you still struggle with stuttering even when you're in their office. Be specific about the situations in which you stutter and the strategies you've tried in the past. 2. Ask your therapist for their thoughts on why you might not be stuttering in their office. It's possible that you're more comfortable with your therapist or that the therapy environment is less stressful than other situations where you stutter. Understanding why you're not stuttering in therapy could help you and your therapist develop more effective strategies for managing your stuttering in other situations. 3. Consider seeking a second opinion from another speech therapist who specializes in stuttering. A different perspective and approach may be beneficial for you. 4. Look for support from other people who stutter. There are many online and in-person support groups where you can connect with others who have similar experiences. Sharing your experiences and hearing from others can be a great source of support and inspiration. I started the first community for professionals who stutter a few months back. It's completely free and we already have 200 other professionals who stutter.

Don't give up hope, and keep advocating for yourself to get the help you need. You got this! :)
