I live in Canada but I honestly have blocked out my speech therapy sessions as a kid because I hated them so much. However, as an adult, I had the opportunity to take speech therapy again and the most important thing I learned was acceptance and management of my stutter, not fluency. The idea that stuttering is a part of who I am, and learning to manage it and work with it was more important than making it go away, because it won't go away. Some specific activities we did were being open and talking about it with family, friends, boyfriend, and roommates which was hard even as an adult but helped me to be more open about it in other situations. I now disclose that I am a person who stutters or that "I stutter" in interviews, cover letters and even when someone laughs at me for blocking on my name. It has really helped with my mental health and educating others to be more patient and understanding. In addition, easy onset and blending were two strategies that we practiced that have really helped me overall. We also did intentional stuttering, which can be beneficial for some, but not for me.
