How do your parents/guardians respond to your stutter? Curious how they respond when you stutter and their general attitude towards your stutter in general. For a little of my own context, my mums trying to get me to do emdr therapy. She’s convinced I stutter because she experienced a traumatic event when she was 8 months pregnant with me. Apparently that’s the time the brain starts to develop speech and language. I know she cares but I also wish she’d stop trying to fix the problem and just accept that it’s a part of me.
