I whole heartedly agree that the stuttering “treatments” are a load of shit and purely don’t work. They divert the issue elsewhere and do not solve the underlying problem. Accepting your stuttering is not enough, accepting that this is who I am now is unacceptable. I believe if you think that way you have been defeated. There is hope for you and there is a way to solve the underlying cause. It’s like having coping mechanisms for anxiety, but never solving the underlying beast that causes the anxiety in the first place. I notice with you that you are self aware as fuck and I feel that about myself aswell, that may be a common trait amongst stutterers as each of us go on our own journeys to solve our speech problems. I too have felt tremendous benefit from reading out loud and have honestly been slacking off lately, so I thank you for the motivation. In terms of the affirmations, what would you usually say in a routine of affirmations? I personally believe there is something going on in the biochemistry of the brains of stutterers and I am currently on a mission to discover what it is and how to solve it.
