STUTTERING: From Shame and Anxiety to Confident Authenticity
Stuttering has long been seen as something to be looked down upon or made fun of in public, something viewed as abnormal or a defect that therapists can “cure”.
However, stuttering is none of these things! We are not defective, just different. Only by challenging these ingrained misconceptions can we begin to dismantle the stigma, allowing us to take pride in who we are and to live our most authentic selves.
In his debut book, Hanan Hurwitz writes about the attitudes and philosophies that helped him as a person who stutters. He draws on years of study, mindfulness practices, and other techniques that helped him overcome his shame and anxiety with stuttering. The book takes readers on an empowering journey toward self-acceptance, supported by scientific evidence and philosophical principles.
This book not only demystifies the experience of stuttering but also empowers individuals to live truthfully and to flourish despite societal prejudices.
