Well, I have stuttered all my life ( I'm 24) but lately I have learned that embracing and accepting my stutter is really the only way it would let go of me. I guess, when we accept it and proudly embrace it as a part of us then it stops being a problem and becomes something else entirely. I've started taking speech therapy recently and the therapist told me exactly this. She also told me that it can't and won't be cured. But we can learn techniques to become fluent on the words we face difficulty. I also ignored it all my life but it didn't work for me at all. When we accept it we stop seeing it as something that hinders us but let's be honest, the person you are today is very largely influenced by your stutter. Many of our behaviours, thoughts and actions are directly influenced by our stuttering. So ignoring it is not the right thing I guess.
