ACT therapy Hi everyone! I am a 26 year old female that has had a very mild stutter for most of my life. It was not anything I was ever very self conscious about, and did not seem to interfere with anything in my day to day life. For the last 3 years or so, I have begun feeling very self conscious of my stutter due to some discrimination I experienced against it in a workplace (a report was made against the individual and I am no longer in the environment), and now my fluency has progressively been getting worse. I have never been in any sort of speech therapy, and am beginning to look into SLP’s. I found one by me that mainly uses ACT therapy (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). I definitely would love to get to a place where my stutter is no longer impacting my self confidence, but I also would realistically like my fluency to be improved upon as well. Has anyone seen their fluency improve using ACT therapy?
