An online workshop exploring self-compassion and stammering avoidance.

We all avoid. It's a human thing. So how come some people think when a person experiences stammering they have to be consistently challenging themselves to reduce avoidance, be courageous and consistently grow/ extend a comfort zone?

And what to say when some well-meaning person actually leaves you feeling ashamed because you decided to have a day off and simply be you while they are busy encouraging you to stop avoiding and be proud because they believe this is the best thing for you. 

Join speech & language therapist Trish Chilton for an online workshop inviting personal reflection, small group discussion and a couple of ideas on how to use compassion and self-kindness to work out when avoidance is serving you, when it's getting in your way and what to say when other people tell you to stop avoiding.

As part of this event we ask that people have their cameras on for the safety of the group.

When: Wednesday 21st October, 7:30-8:30pm
Where: Online via Zoom
Cost: £5 (every penny goes directly to cover our online platform costs so we can raise as much as possible for STAMMA).
