What do you guys think about accepting stuttering as a part of us?

[Anonymous]

I would like to hear your guys thoughts on accepting stuttering as being a part of us. Do you believe that if we are trying to overcome our stutter, then this means that we do not truly accept ourselves?

Or do you think the opposite; that while we accept our stutter as a part of us for RIGHT NOW, we can at the same time strive to be the best version of ourselves, which does not include us stuttering? Let me hear your thoughts.

“while we accept our stutter as a part of us for RIGHT NOW, we can at the same time strive to be the best version of ourselves”

I prefer this version.

Hi Gabor, It was great to see you at the meeting on Saturday! It is like saying that I accept not being a doctor, so why should I study medicine to become one? I should just accept that I am not a doctor, accept myself for who I am, and never try to be anything that I currently am not.

Do you guys see how ludicrous that sounds?

I accept that right now, I have this learned behaviour (which is a part of my life, but not a part of my real personality), which can be unlearned.

Thank you for today’s coaching, it was very helpful and gave me a big motivation to continue my speech journey.
