In the last 33 years of being an SLP I have lost track of how many people say "my stuttering is a burden!" It may be worded as "I will hold up the meeting" or "the partners in my presentation will resent my stuttering" or "the waiter is busy and I have to speak fast or he'll be upset."

Because I integrate CBT into therapy, I help people find these cognitive distortions and toxic beliefs. These negative patterns of thinking create social anxiety/state anxiety and lead to blocking. YOUR STUTTERING IS NOT A BURDEN. We want to hear you share your ideas and contributions.
