I'm think about going to speech therapy Hi everyone, I am a stutter and I am thinking about going to therapy. My stutter is not extremely serious, like I think I stutter at most on 30% of all of the words in a phrase, expecially on the first and last ones. But still my stutter is so humiliating and embarassing for me. I have avoided so many social interactions because of that, and given the fact that I am also an introvert and shy person, this has led me to literally seclude myself and leave behind a lot of friends. I have already tried to just "ignore it" and go on, but I simply can't, it's like the elephant in the room for me, which will always be there no matter what. Like I hate when people are waiting for you to finish saying a word, and they give you that stare and little smirk, or simply avoiding to say a concept you have very clear in your mind, because you can't find the right words to not stutter, as someone who is so passionate about their interests like me, it's devastating. I simply can't go on like that forever. I have never tried speech therapy before, so I am a bit worried that it wont work at it would simply be a waste of money for my parents. What are your opinions? If you have already tried speech therapy, have you seen any tangible progress? Thanks for reading allat.
