Anyone Else Feel Like Their Progress Has Been Hampered By This Crisis? I was making good progress with my speech. My stutter has been really severe for the past few years but after lots of social isolation and silence I finally decided to get over it. I started giving presentations at college. Started talking to people more. Speech therapy is really expensive so instead I read up on some resources online and on here too, and started recording myself using those techniques. It was going good. I even started joining some meetup events where people could talk and saw that as an opportunity to practice. But then this crisis started in the middle of last month. I feel like its spoiled all the progress. I feel like I'm back in square one. All of that exposure therapy down the drain. It's not fair :/
