It’s about unrooting the belief that - fundamentally because we have a stutter we deserve to be heard or listened to less than someone fluent. This belief is drilled into us any time we are ridiculed, ignored, rushed, etc. It’s the belief that because we have this we are worth less than others. I personally believe that most stutterers likely suffer from complex trauma due to having this condition and living in a world where worth = extent to which you can communicate with others. Therefore this is relational trauma and should be dealt with as such. I personally found success with trauma informed therapy using methods like IFS, EMDR and somatic experiencing. But there are many similar therapies. The idea is to treat these beliefs as wounds and use methods to help these wounds heal. Happy to chat more via DM if you’re interested.
