We are being silenced by the pendulum swing from one terrible set of SLP beliefs (treating dysfluency like it’s an articulation disorder) to another (toxic positivity of “just accept” without giving additional information”. You can think of it this way - the actual stutter is *just* repetitions, and everything else is a byproduct (blocks, ALL avoidances, anxiety, etc). the byproducts happen *because* you are trying to hide repetitions. The more you accept just the repetitions, then the byproducts will begin to disappear. No one should EVER “accept” the mini panic attack that causes blocks and many types of avoidances!
