I wrote an interesting piece on my blog about PWS who sometimes apologize to listeners. It generated a lot of discussion. I have done it, and wound up kicking myself after - it was almost instinctual. Others say they feel the need to apologize for making listeners feel uncomfortable, for taking too much time, or just simply as an acknowledgement that the listener was being patient, and the apology was not meant as an apology. I have felt disappointed in myself when I realize I have apologized. Any thoughts? How would you handle a client who feels the need to apologize for stuttering? What advice might you give?
