Jeff Shames

While self help and therapy often reduce shame and increase self acceptance for people who stutter, sometimes negative feelings persist, linger or return. How should people who stutter and professionals respond when shame and embarrassment persist? On the second half of today’s episode we discuss the question “When is therapy over?” When should professionals “dismiss” clients and when should people who stutter consider ending treatment? Today on StutterTalk, Jeff Shames and Robert “the Expert” Quesal join Peter Reitzes to discuss these important issues.
