Hi! I think you responded to my comment here once.. as an adult who has undergone many different speech therapies, I'm just now realizing that maybe the best approach really is psychological. I'm determined on my way to fluency and I've been having hypnotherapy sessions once a week for about a month now. I've also read some great self reflecting books (not necessarily about stuttering). I believe that our subconscious mind has a greater role in overcoming stuttering than we give it credit to. I believe in staring small and working up, step by step.. That said, I think it might be cool and beneficial to start weekly or daily threads like "what's something you are proud of doing today/this week?" and it can be a place where everyone can interact and support each other. People could share their little milestones, be it saying hello to a stranger, or doing a presentation at work. That way, even when someone is feeling down, they can look at that thread and it might give them hope or inspire them to start taking small steps out of their comfort zone..
