No, I think that's silly. People doing physical rehab wouldn't ever consider such a thing, why should we? Ignoring your stutter won't make it go away. The less we speak, the less fluent we get. In the discord, for a while we had 2-3 reading sessions per week, and we logged our word count for each. There was a concrete rise in word counts as time went on. In fact, one of our speakers had abysmally low word count at start--he could barely get a sentence out--but now he talks over voice chat with only your garden-variety stutter. Likewise, my word count was the lowest for a long while. My line graph began rising more and more, until I was able to be on par with the less severe stutterers in the group. I stutter when I'm alone, and while talking to my pets. I don't care about image. I don't care about my stutter. This wasn't purely psychological for me. It was physical, too. Exercise works. It doesn't always have to mean repeating syllables for five hours. Sometimes it's just reading an article aloud to someone in the morning, or choosing to go into the gas station to pay for gas rather than using the pump debit. It's about speaking often, and with intent, and seeing/feeling the improvement and letting that motivate you and give you confidence.
