My viewpoint: Often the desire for more fluency can lead to frustration and more stuttering. It's therefore better to learn "**being comfortable with stuttering**" (acceptance) although I feel like it comes at the cost of targeting the conditioning between the freeze response and inner conflict - that our subconscious responds to prior to stuttering blocks. This has been so underwhelmingly overlooked by SLPs that it feels like we are not even trying to learn from actual individuals who have achieved stuttering remission or subconscious fluency. Moreover, I think it's wrong to assume we need to have a feeling of desire towards fluency to achieve stuttering remission, why should it? Researcher Yairi, in his book (Stuttering foundations - 2023), used the term "cure" as in young children often cure stuttering, where the word cure is conceptually similar to stuttering remission or stuttering recovery. **But the articles by Yairi are all pretty old, and I'd hope the language is a relic of its time.** Different researchers define these terms differently, but in the r/stutter subreddit, it almost feels like a default response to say something like, “You can’t cure stuttering so shut up”. I really believe these knee-jerk responses are unhelpful and lack real meaning. Sure, I absolutely agree that there’s no official cure (i.e., definitive treatment) for stuttering recovery, but some people do experience stuttering remission/recovery under certain conditions, such as practicing desensitization, mindfulness, or making small subtle changes in behavior or attitude ([1](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021992418300789), [2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tNnR-Vj034IPhoUmE6Z6x4PG69eq1gZV/view?usp=sharing)). That said, relapses are fairly common after stuttering remission. Some Ph.D. researchers, for example, have reported achieving stuttering remission, only for it to return in their 70s or 80s. *Conclusion*: The point I’m trying to make is this. It’s true that there’s no official cure (i.e., treatment) for stuttering recovery. It’s also true that stuttering remissions and even spontaneous recoveries occur later in life, even in adults. Furthermore, some researchers suggest that what appears to be spontaneous recovery often involves subtle behavioral or attitudinal changes that lead to stuttering remission. When the default response on social media is something like, “*There’s no cure so shut up*” it not only dismisses these points but also stifles meaningful discussion about progress in stuttering remission and recovery. So, some posts on social media about remission or recovery is met with hostility or stigma, which creates an environment of negativity and ignorance rather than open dialogue. And let’s face it—ignorance is not bliss in this case
