I understand your intentions are well-meaning, but the impact is what's called into question. It's so simple right? Sleep well, eat well, exercise weekly. Just, you know, be confident! "It's how you think about how others perceive you is why you stutter" If only things were that simple. Could you imagine telling someone that has seizures to just be confident and they won't have a seizure? Sounds like an extreme example? My contention is that stuttering just like seizures arises from the workings of the brain. This mental shift is grounded in evidence and is freeing rather than victimizing. Now you claim you once had a severe stutter and now it's very mild. Man that's awesome, i'm really happy for you. But the problem is that not all of us have that luxury, a lot are suffering in silence no matter what they do. Here's the issue: People that truly need assistance aren't seeking it or receiving it because they get silenced from well-intentioned people that tell them they just need to work on themselves, or accept it and move on. Yet people continue to go back and forth on the same bullshit without seeking real assistance.
