Yes, I have great difficulty talking in t. When I first started, 2 and a half years ago, I just sat shaking, not looking my t in the eye, not being able to speak and answering questions with 'I don't know'. My t has been patient and, through a lot of questioning and a lot of guess work, my t has taught me how to talk a little. Her ability to read me and make educated guesses about what I wanted to say or couldn't say has been invaluable to me and my ability to talk. She took risks in guessing what was on my mind and that has paid off fantastically.
