The student clinicians were very helpful in reshaping how I perceived my stuttering. One of the things that really helped was when they told me and kept telling me that people were not hanging onto every word I was saying. I found that was not true. They also played a tape of my speech and had me listen to it. I realized it wasn't so bad after all. Before therapy, I would have given myself a very negative rating about how I sounded. So sometimes what I thought did not match what things really were. I just had to develop a more positive attitude about my speech. This is something that changed over time and took time. Thanks for your question
