I am working with a teen who stutters. I think that this would be a good angle to take with my client because he has a difficult time expressing how he feels about stuttering. I especially like the metaphor about Indiana Jones and taking chances during therapy because he also has a hard time with trusting some treatment techniques. Are there any more metaphors that you could share about taking chances? About stuttering? Does it help when students draw pictures about what stuttering means to them and how it has effected them?

Thank you, Lindsey
