Yea that's for sure. It's easier said than done. Like what's the process of accepting one's stutter? And is there a trigger? Part of me thinks it comes with age, but only if you're moving forward in life with that goal in mind. The goal of accepting your stutter and putting yourself out of your comfort zone. And the other part of me thinks being able to accept one's stutter is dependent on one's own personality. Specifically their level of neuroticism. And maybe also their trait openness. If it's the former and the ability to accept one's self comes with age, then maybe we don't need to do all that much. Cause the fact is, talking is a daily life activity whether we like it or not. So maybe the only thing we have to do is make a continuous effort to be kinder to ourselves and more patient with ourselves in as many speaking situations as possible. It's really dealing with emotional part during the stutter and after. And I guess also before, to muster up the courage. Which I guess would mean you'd have to learn the skill of processing / dealing with negative emotions before and after blocking. And I guess also the skill of not anticipating a speech block or letting it get to our head thus leading to avoidance. Or maybe alternatively the skill of not making too much judgments about the speaking situation, before or after. About whether it went well or not. Kinda like being an airhead about it. Idk just some random thoughts I thought I'd bounce off you. Do you have any ideas of how you'd exactly go about accepting your stutter in a stuttering moment?
