I agree with you that trying to rename/rebrand this condition is not helpful; the English-speaking world knows this as stuttering or stammering. I disagree, however, with your complaints about therapy targeting improving the comfort level with stuttering for people who stutter. By and large, people who stutter grow up being teased, mocked, laughed at and generally marginalized by their more fluent counterparts, compromising confidence and self image. Afflicting 1% of the population, it will almost always feel like it’s ’just you’. This is the heart of the disorder of stuttering, and therefore an excellent target for therapy. When possible, therapists should gather together people who stutter, as self help and support are at least as important as good therapy.
