Psychological therapy options Hi all! I wasn't able to find any threads on psychological therapy options for stammering. One of the things I hate most about stammering is how much real-estate it takes up in my brain and in my life. For me personally, I've found that speech therapy where you use physical techniques or things like deliberate dysfluency mean that I have to constantly think about my speech and my stammer all-day-everyday, in every single speaking situation, in order to get the benefits (which immediately disappear as soon as I stop using the techniques all the time, and my stammer comes back with a vengeance). This means that in order for me to improve my fluency, I've had to obsess over my speech and my stammer *even more* than before. And I keep thinking about the hours of my life I'd have to waste on speech therapy just so that I can conform to society's expectation of fluency. I don't want to be a public speaker, or in a job which requires amazing presenting skills, so I've decided that I don't want to waste my time with speech therapy anymore. Which is why I'm considering psychological therapy for stammering (e.g. CBT or ACT). I'm also wondering whether "regular" therapy (i.e. not with a speech therapist) might also be an option, since I'm having a really hard time at the moment not just because of my stammer but because of self-esteem issues from a traumatic childhood (for which I've never been to therapy either). Any thoughts on psychological therapy for stammering, and/or regular therapy for non-stammering life issues as an alternative or an addition? Has anyone had experience with having to choose between either, or doing both simultaneously? Many thanks for reading.
