If you had even a basic grasp of the literature, you'd recognize that nothing I've stated is remotely controversial. In fact, every principle I've outlined has been well-established for years and isn't even debated. Judging by your incoherent comment below, it's clear you're committed to controlling your stutter manually. You might want to re-read what the negative feedback loop is if you even read it in the first place. Or don't, I really don't care lol. Good luck lmao "I'll attempt to provide an answer. People will do exactly what you said, they'll come on here and they'll talk about their struggle with stuttering but they won't listen to people that tell them that there are options by way of medication. This is because people have told them long ago that they should just "accept" their stutter cause there's nothing else they can do. So not only do they begin to accept it, they make it part of their identity. This leads to them being aversive to anything that would lead to improvements in fluency, like medication, because they deep down feel that if they lose their stutter, they'll lose a part of themselves. Subsequently, this leads to them telling others that the only option for them is to accept their stutter and move on. And the cycle continues. This message of acceptance isn't only from people on here but also practicing SLPs. This is because they have changed their models from fluency shaping approaches, which haven't proven to work, to acceptance models. I tell you what though, i accept the neurological underpinnings of stuttering and I accept the medications that target them. Additionally, medications allow more control over stuttering, not less, which is what some choose to believe."
