I agree 100%. I believe SLP’s made my stutter worse. I started stuttering when I was maybe 4 or 5. My parents made a massive deal about it and forced me to go to speech therapy. I absolutely hated it, but the worst part is that it made me self conscious about my stutter. This made it a big deal for me. I’m now 28, and I still stutter today and I firmly believe it’s because my parents and the speech therapists made it out to be a huge deal.
