True. If a PWS is completely isolated from other people who stutter, and if the only help available to them are SLPs who have no idea about acceptance and still focus primarily on fluency in their therapy, then I agree that it can be monumentally hard. How are you supposed to approach acceptance when you're told you can achieve fluency if you work hard enough? But there are easily accessible resources, such as support groups (both in-person and remote) that can make the road to acceptance much easier. Once you start talking to (and listening to!) other people who stutter, the steps to addressing those feelings of "otherness" are much shorter. Then again, maybe I'm overly optimistic because I literally just got back from spending 4 days surrounded by hundreds of people who stutter 😉
