To find acceptance of our stuttering we must first chip away at the negative feelings and attitudes dragging us down such as shame, embarrassment and guilt. While fluency techniques taught in therapy can be helpful tools, there is no guarantee of complete fluency because there is no cure for stuttering. We who stutter must suppress these negative feelings and attitudes to prevent stuttering from negatively impacting our lives. These negative feelings and attitudes CAN be suppressed and we CAN stutter with confidence!
