Stuttering isn’t just about speech.
It’s about fear, avoidance, and the voice in your head that says “don’t speak.”

Stuttering isn’t just about speech — it’s also about the beliefs, fears, and emotions behind it.

In my latest article on Medium, I share how Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy for Stuttering (REBTS) can help you speak more freely by changing the way you think about stuttering itself.

This approach isn’t about chasing perfect fluency — it’s about replacing fear with courage, and silence with self-acceptance.
