When I was younger it was all about trying to stop stuttering. As an adult it became more about acceptance. Acceptance might not even be the right word because I stopped thinking of it as an affliction and more as just a part of me that I judge way more harshly than other people do. There are definitely days and situations where that’s really hard, but I’ve found focusing on the emotional side and my mental well being has been a much better approach.
