To make things worse, I see a therapist and today I have an appointment and this is just going to be the biggest waste of time, I am totally on edge. Most times I am able to communicate fine, a few stumbles but I don't get completely stuck. I get that it's important that I attend as looks like avoidance if I don't. Does anyone else have a vulnerability attached to their stutter? I feel like it "gives me away", betrays me and like my anxiety is on show. I wouldn't consider myself to need speech therapy as I get by with minimal problems most of the time. But having this flare up in times of stress, is that a valid reason to do more work on it?
