Each person may use another strategy (like acceptance). Different modalities have different definitions of acceptance. However, we could apply acceptance to different aspects in the stutter cycle: * Accepting unhelpful beliefs/attitudes * Accepting triggers * Accepting reactions to triggers * Accepting secondary characteristics * Accepting negative coping mechanisms * Accepting avoidance-behaviors * Accepting sensory feedback * Accepting a panic response * Acknowledging the stutter cycle * Being okay with speech errors in the speech plan (e.g., with the goal to stop canceling the [speech plan](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/352380093_REVIEWING_THE_COVERT_REPAIR_HYPOTHESIS) which could lead to no speech blocks) * Allowing intrusive thoughts in your mind (e.g., with the goal to not hold back speech regardless of feelings or thoughts) * Embracing and really experiencing anticipatory fear (e.g., with the goal to build tolerance and detach importance) **Conclusion**: "*Accepting stuttering as part of who we are and celebrating stutter as part of our individuality?*" likely falls under '**coping**' or '**approaching unhelpful beliefs/attitudes**' (which is the 1st or 4th option in the poll). I think it's considered as 'identifying with stuttering' and 'justifying the stutter program'
