Overcoming school trauma I’ve always had a stutter but as I’ve gotten older it’s gotten much better. My main issue is that in primary school, anytime a teacher made me say my name out loud I would stutter for about 10 seconds trying to get it out and everyone would comment or giggle. Before that, when I was 9, I had a teacher bully who constantly picked on me and my stutter in front of the class and she completely broke me for years. At that age (11-12) I started hurting myself with anything I could find in my pencil case when I stuttered in class. To this day I still completely pains and go blank when someone asks my name and it’s one of my biggest fears. When it happens I want to hurt myself. Has anyone had any similar experiences and were they ever able to overcome the trauma?
