Hi Nicole, Yes, joining self-help support groups definitely helped. I needed to know I wasn't the only one, and that there all kinds of people dealing with stuttering. That, and discovering my own inner reserves, helped me to take some risks. And I like what I have found by doing that. But, I also know I am not perfect, after years of trying to be, and that I am going to have moments when I hate my stuttering. I think clinicians need to keep that in mind when working with someone who stutters. It can be back and forth. Thanks for reading. --Pam
