Emotions tied to your stutter Hi guys! I’ve had a stutter since I was 5, I am 21 now and going to be a speech pathologist. I tend to cry a lot when I share stuff about my stutter or talk about it at all. It hits some extreme emotional part of me. I have known since I was 5 that I wanted to be a SLP because I’ve had such amazing experiences with the ones I’ve had. Since I’ve started to dive into my stutter identity a couple of years ago, every time I talk about my stutter, I cry. I don’t know if it’s the passion, the work and time I’ve put into my speech, awareness, my future going into the field with a stutter, the frustration, anxiety, etc. maybe it’s all of them. But I can’t be crying every time I talk about it going into this profession. Does anyone else get a lot of emotion from this?!
