For me, what I have worked on is making it clear people know when I *AM* stuttering. I developed coping strategies that hid my stutter, but when the strategies didn’t work, they got stranger reactions than the stutter itself. So when I know I get really stuck, I also make an effort to stutter, so people know I am struggling. That actually ends up working better. I have to work a little harder to rebound, but I can. For me, I think it’s mainly about feeling comfortable. I don’t care if someone sees that I stutter, but I also don’t want to get stuck, since I want to still communicate. Being unable to communicate doesn’t involve shame - it is just frustrating. So that’s healthy IMO.
