Sarah Thanks for your insightful observations. Perfectionism becomes problematic when we "beat ourselves up" because our standards are impossible to meet. It can lead to feelings of low self-esteem. Lots of people have this tendency- not only people who stutter. I think many of us would be happier if we were not so hard on ourselves! Thank you for your interest in our work. Best, Barbara
