A speech therapy clinic that focuses on acceptance opened my eyes. It was a 2 week intensive clinic and for part of it you walk around the college campus and survey random people about stuttering while you yourself are pseudo stuttering. It was uncomfortable at first but after a day or 2 it opened my eyes that a) almost everyone knows someone who stutters and b) almost no one had a negative reaction to my Stuttering. Therefore, if it doesn't bother anyone else, it shouldn't bother me so much. If anyone lives close to Toledo I HIGHLY recommend going to the 2 week intensive SLP clinic and the U of Toledo.
