My thoughts are conflicted!! I am a mild to moderate stutterer and every now and then I come across videos related to stuttering on YouTube like how to overcome it, breathing exercises, Ted talks etc. But from what I noticed the entire thing about stutter is mainly divided into 2 groups- acceptance & how to obliterate it completely. There are many Ted talks I find that prioritise accepting your stutter and then there are channels that complete focus on how to wipe it away like Del Ferro, Stuttermind neuroscience Protocol etc. I am not saying that this method is good or that is bad. I just want to know which one to actually follow since both the approaches are like polar opposites of each other.
