Stuttering As A Path To Acceptance – Adir Ben Shloosh — 12 Comments

  1. Hi Adir

    Thanks very much for sharing your important message of self-acceptance.

    Be well,
    Hanan

  2. Thank You Adir!

    I think watching your video gave me an insight: Two words kept resonating in my ears, in my mind, after seeing and hearing it… acceptance and love… and I was thinking about the relationship between the acceptance I have today of my stutter and love? And how much of this love that has allowed me to accumulate more acceptance has come from my more active participation in the stuttering community. Feeling grateful!

    • Hey,
      So grateful to give reason for thoughts on increased love and acceptance to occur.
      I read a great article called “Stuttering as an act of love” by, not long ago. It explains that when you welcome, constantly, a stutter with acceptance, it’s an act of love. What if I will not accepct it once? Does that means I’m not loving anymore

      • It means there has been an interruption in the flow of your love towards your stuttering. That’s what it means, in my opinion, and that’s okay.

  3. ? One might ask. To that he says: “Our chance to choose love never goes away”
    Lived it! Like an un ending source of light that defenitly grows larger when you are part of a community.
    Thank you for your comment!

  4. Dear Adir! It’s lovely to see your journey and watch how you become an inspirational figure in our community.
    Acceptance is a choice we make every day.

  5. Hi Adir! Thank you for sharing your personal experience with stuttering and self-acceptance! As a graduate SLP student, I found your perspective really meaningful. I’m curious: as you’ve become more accepting of your stuttering, have you noticed a change in the way you approach conversations or situations you may have previously avoided? Do you feel that acceptance has changed what successful communication means to you?

    • Hey,
      Yes.
      The need to predict every word/ answers/ outcomes fades away and blurs with time.
      I am more open to listening, it’s easier when your next sentence is not all you think about. You can feel you’re eye leveled with a lot more poeple. There is still work to do but overall it opened a new door in life.
      Thank you for your question!

    • Hey Zab,
      Your kind of work is powerfull.
      Thank you for engaging in such a field!
      And thank you for your comment.

  7. I loved hearing your voice and your message. It takes time to find acceptance, as not all of it is being taught, often the opposite. Finding acceptance, finding your voice, finding your own true self behind the stutter, and finding the strength to move your stutter, from being in front of you, instead into your backpack, brings freedom.

    Thanks for sharing. Keep talking
