There is a huge stigma in relation to stuttering. If stuttering itself were only included, we may get emotions of anger and frustration for not being able to say something when we want to say it. The stigma of stuttering creates a myriad of emotions; anger, shame, sadness, etc. This is caused by societal expectations. In therapy we can easily work on that anger and frustration about the stuttering itself; however, the stigma of stuttering has a more psychological impact. You can’t have one without the other, unless the person who stutters lives in a bubble.
