I fully agree with this. I’m 25M & I’ve had a moderate severe stutter my whole life. I’ve done speech therapy when I was 18 using the camper down method but I didn’t really find that useful. Fast forward many years to the present, I still stutter especially when I’m really nervous & it had made me really anxious & depressed & afraid to speak. & that sucked a lot as I want to be an outgoing & friendly, but I always felt that there was a barrier stopping me from being who I really wanted to be. Few months ago, I started speech therapy again but this time we tried something called ARTS (avoidance reduction therapy for stuttering). It’s exactly like what OP mentioned. Shifting the focus away from fluency & just concentrating on who you are & what your message is. Though it’s just been a few months, I feel so much better about myself & I find myself feeling more confident about who I am, regardless of how I speak. I’ve seen that translate into real life as well, somehow with more confidence & having less pressure on myself to not stutter, I end up stuttering way less. Sometimes I still do stutter, but as long as I stay calm & “stutter confidently”, I feel that the people around don’t seem to notice it as much as before. Overall I think this approach could be really useful for people like us. This has been working out for me, & I’m really happy with the progress so far as ive seen some success with this approach in my life thus far. Hopefully it continues working 😅
