redefining stuttering by john harrison hi guys! i’ve been in this sub for awhile and i’ve seen the book “redefining stuttering” by john harrison recommended several times. for a long time i kinda rolled my eyes and assumed it wasn’t as helpful as people were making it seem. spoiler: it is! this book has been really enlightening and is helping me focus on fluency while speaking rather than avoiding stuttering, if that makes sense. i’m only 100ish pages in. i still stutter, but i’m getting more fluent and will sometimes even think to myself “wow i said that whole thing perfectly.” it’s a slow process but i’m excited to see how much more i improve. i like to read it out loud to myself before bed to get practice and build my confidence around certain words and sounds. i wanted to share an excerpt from what i recently read and i hope it encourages others to check it out:
