What does exactly "accept your stutter" mean? Let me explain myself: When we talk, we need to push in order for the words to come out. We need to make an effort to talk, right? So, when we talk, we are by law not accepting the stutter, because we NEED to PUSH in order to talk, and "push" and "accept" don't come together. Like, the only way of accepting it is by not talking, so you don't push, which you need to talk. So... what the hell is this? What does "accepting" a stutter mean (and I mean blocks where one twists his face and eyes and feel the pressure in the throat)?
