Yeah. I finally found a program based on accepting who you are. We are people who stutter and there's nothing actually bad about that. In fact, the stuttering isn't even that bad, it's all the accompanying struggle that makes it do awful and painful. But those feelings are a choice we've been conditioned to. Instead of focusing on fluency, you can instead work to not make stuttering so scary and awful. The result is you'll talk and you'll sometimes stutter, but there's no shame, embarrassment, anguish over it. So all you're left with is done bobbly speech, and honestly that's fine. It won't stop you from doing anything. You simple have more disfluencies than the average person.
