In the third week of each intensive therapy program, we have the participants contemplate and answer the following questions:
- What’s ‘bad’ about stuttering?
- What have been the benefits of your stuttering?
- Is there any downside to being a more fluent speaker?
- Lastly, what are the benefits of managing your speech effectively and speaking more fluently? What is this doing for your life?
Today, the participants will share their lists, and we’ll discuss the matter in a group. It’s always an interesting discussion, and it’s one of the ways that we encourage our clients to embark on a journey of self-exploration as they prepare to re-enter their lives with new speech management strategies and new perspective.

Hi Carl,
Could you share with us some of the answers that your participants made with respect to the downside of being a more fluent speaker?
I would really be interested to hear those answers.
Hope to hear from you guys.
Steven
