I’ve used music therapy to help with my means of expression. I have stuttered all my life and have used music & writing to help express myself in ways I could be proud of. Being a stutterer, expressing myself verbally is embarrassing, shameful, and frustrating. Music & writing are the some of the ways I don’t feel as ashamed of how I express my emotions.
