This happened to me in elementary school, I’m now almost 50yo. the teachers used to give me an A for behavior. But by the grace of God I grew out of it when I began working a job while in high school. My family was poor so I knew that work was inevitable. I think this realization coupled with the good work environment is what helped me overcome this.
Very good video 🌌 thank you for spreading awareness on Selective Mutism . Everyone needs to have a voice ♡ I also make videos on mental health and Selective Mutism 💕
@@Lovely-vd5ss Find a therapist who specializes in SM. It is treatable with small steps of exposure therapy. There are a few books out there. Start with "Selective Mutism" by Aimee Kotrba. My son's therapist says she follows the methods in this book and she's seen many people overcome SM!
I wish there were those sort of awareness when I was a child. Would've made my life so much easier.
This was me and I still struggle to this day. it’s a very painful way to live. I am grateful there is awareness now
when I try to speak to strangers without any fear, my voice sounds a bit weird and they usually can't hear it clearly or something

Wow, so moving! Selective mutism is treatable and most people dont even know how to diagnose it!
@Rachel Naparstek Treatable in what way? CBT surely doesn't help.
