Dr. Michael Azios is an associate professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, in the Department of Communicative Disorders. He is a speech and language pathologist, training future SLPs and working with groups of people who stutter. In this vulnerable and authentic podcast, Michael shares his journey as a younger person who stuttered and his incredible transformation and courage to use narrative therapy to deeply reflect and better understand the trauma from stuttering experiences and how he has "changed the lense" by which he views it. He uses books and films on stuttering to help parents and children who stutter better understand stuttering and put their stutter into perspective. Brian and Michael share a common belief that storytelling is therapeutic and the pathway towards joy. Creating space between the person and the stutter is an important step towards loving yourself.
