See What’s Really Going On When You Get “The Look”
Ever get 'the look' while you're stuck in a stutter? When you realize that other peoples’ reactions are not about you, you hold onto your own power and confidence.
In this episode, we delve into the "Looking Glass Self," a concept that explores how our self-concept is shaped by others. This concept involves imagining how we appear to others, anticipating their judgments, and developing feelings based on these perceptions. For those who stutter, perceived judgments during moments of disfluency can impact self-esteem. We discuss strategies to break free from external validation and encourage self-acceptance. Find out what truly matters when you look in the mirror.
