I think fluency is a perfectly acceptable goal. I don't think it's the only acceptable goal to have. For many people who stutter the severity of stuttering is so great that while achieving stutter-free speech is possible it comes at the cost of feeling like an unnatural way of talking. So for them, often an appropriate goal is would be the ability to reduce tension in order to make speech less effortful. Or perhaps another goal is to reduce the shameful feelings that occur after stuttering. These goals are just as valid as fluency. I think your goal of fluency is fine, but I wonder if it could accidentally shame individuals who never achieve that magic goal of 100% fluency. I'm very glad for the success you've experienced in attaining fluency. But I want to push back against your idea that comes across in your video that fluency is the only goal we should be aiming for. The reason why fluency is often described as the wrong goal is because more often than not that outcome is not common after therapy. Fluency is often not a good goal because you're in the minority. Thus, to press towards fluency when a majority of people will not attain it can exacerbate the feelings of shame and guilt. So now, not only am I stuttering, but I can't seem to use my strategies effectively. Changing the frame of reference so that we stop evaluating ourselves for stuttering is an effective way to achieve the same level of self-acceptance that you have. You are not a better person now because you have stopped stuttering. You've simply stopped shaming yourself because you stuttered. I also don't shame myself for stuttering despite the fact that I still stutter. We reached the same goal, just through a different mechanism
