Episode 233 | Stuttering and Authenticity with Samantha Gennuso, LMFT
Description
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Sam Gennuso, LMFT about stuttering and its connection with authenticity. Sam defines stuttering for listening and shares her personal story as a person who stutters. Sam discusses how stuttering can be a complex trauma and it it impacts one's self-esteem and self-concept. Further, she describes how stuttering relates to authenticity and vulnerability, and how that connection with authenticity has directed much of her clinical work. Sam describes various ways that individuals cope with stuttering, as well as some interventions or supports people who stutter can receive. Further, Sam disusses how people can own their experiences when they have a difference that may have historically caused shame, low self-esteem, or other challenges.
