"it’s okay to stutter no matter how much you stutter." Suppose, we dive deeper into being okay: What is the goal of being okay with stuttering? * The goal is that stuttering doesn't bother you * The goal is to stop linking stuttering to your speech disorder * The goal is to stop measuring your fluency * The goal is to stop changing and hiding the trigger (that leads to a stutter anticipation) * The goal is to stop relying on reassurance-seeking * The goal is to stop relieving yourself from anxiety by doing rituals/compulsion * The goal is to stop justifying/choosing compulsion with "I stutter, because of my stutter disorder" * The goal is that you stop blaming stuttering on your stutter problem Most common mistake of people who stutter (PWS) is: 1. Thinking that 'being okay with stuttering' is to choose and justify compulsion 2. It's about: stuttering doesn't bother you. Because then you: 1) face your triggers and its anxiety to build tolerance against it 2) are able to advance to the next step (stop reacting to triggers) 3) make the story about your feared letter (and other triggers) less real in your mind 3. It's not about reinforcing your stutter habit 4. It's not about reinforcing your perspective/response to your trigger (that leads to an anticipation of a stutter) Question: **What other common mistakes do - people who stutter - do?**
