Dr. Farzan Irani: What are we really trying to cure?

Dr. Farzan Irani is a professor and chair of the Department of Communication Disorders at Texas State University and a leading thinker in stuttering therapy. This podcast takes twists and turns.  Farzan was originally invited as a podcast guest on the Springboard to share his results of a study on how sleep efficiency impacts people who stutter.  We cover that and a lot more! Great podcasts often evolve into an amazing conversation, which is what happened here.  We dove in early to the widely accepted notion that stuttering cannot be "cured" and listen to Farzan give a very intriguing response, getting at...  what are we actually trying to cure?  The podcast touches on a new definition of "acceptance" and being "okay with not being okay".  As in many of Brian's podcasts...  there is a dose of emotion! Take a listen.
