Jeff,

Thanks for posting your comments. I agree with everything you say :-)

Bemoaning our fates is one of the things that make us human (one of the more annoying things sure, but one of the things nonetheless). So I have no problem with bemoaning. But not at the expense of everything else.

Here’s where we get to the issue you allude to at the beginning of your post. Yes, there are actions easy to say and tough to do. As a result, advice to perform these actions can sound trite. I think we have to let our clients know that dealing with a problem like stuttering is tough & we know it’s tough. But we also know that running away from it is, in the long run, far worse.

Thanks again.

Dale
