Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences! I am sorry that you have had negative experiences with an SLP, that is all too common and something that we are trying to address at UT. We do not see stuttering as something that needs to be avoided, fixed, and do not target any fluency-related goals as a part of our programming based on what we know about the lack of long-term effectiveness of these types of therapy as well as from listening to the experiences of the people that we work with at our center. The questions on the survey are asking about perceptions of the cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes of self-disclosure from the speaker's perception because thus far research has primarily focused on the perceptions of listeners/conversational partners. I respect your choice to pass on the survey, but I hope providing more insight into the type of clinical work and research we are doing may lead you to reconsider. Thank you again for sharing!
