Walking out on my Therapist Today was my 38th session of Speech Therapy. I have a severe stutter, with mainly blockage and facial tension. Anyway, we started our usual routine with the question “Anything happen in public with speaking? How did it go?” I answered that I needed to get a part from the auto parts store and it went horrible. None of my techniques worked. And that it ruined my day, as well as my self esteem and fed my depression. None of the techniques work or anything out of the safe space of the office. I’m around 70% fluent in therapy. She told me none of these people matter and all this positivity crap. I told her I appreciate your positive outlook but I’ve been dealing with this my whole life and it’s not so simple, please stop. She continued on with her high horse, positivity crap and I just had to walk out. Am I the only one that finds this extremely irritating? That a person with a nice career, married, life in check. Thinks that it’s so easy to write off something we/I deal with everyday. Like she has no idea the mental toll it has in me. Am I wrong for feeling this way?
