stutter therapy? is it worth it? hello, i'm 22yo and i've stuttered my whole life. I tried going to a speech therapist when i was in elementary school but my dad forced me to give it up so i never went back. Everyone kept telling me it would leave by itself as i grew up but it honestly never happened. I spent the entirety of my school life, especially middle and high school, getting bad grades cause my teachers would mistake my stuttering as me "not studying enough" (even though i did) and the constant shaming and scolding made me give up entirely and that's when i actually stopped studying and caring about school as a whole. But regardless of that i still managed to graduate even if with a low score and in the meantime i found passion in programming so i started studying as a self taught student. For a while, "thanks" to the pandemic and the fact that i was studying by myself, i forgot about my stuttering cause it didn't really bother me. Fast forward to today i am now applying to jobs as developer and that problem is coming back. I just did an interview and i started stuttering so bad to the point i started panicking and couldn't speak anymore. I'm very ashamed and embarrassed and i feel like it's only gonna get worse if i don't do something. I tried looking for stutter therapy centers near me and found a few. Has anyone ever gone to stuttering therapy? Was it worth it? How was your experience Thank you in advance i really appreciate it
