the mindset in this sub saddens me to be honest this sub makes me deeply sad , like okay stuttering may have a genetic or neurobiological origin but i would argue that most of it is psychological and people like john harrison and tim mackesey studied it extensively over decades, im pretty sure that the psychological approach to treatment can remove like 90 percent of stuttering(dont dwell on the number) ; so what if it has a biological origin ; Social anxiety, ocd, generalized anxiety, many phobias may have a genetic and neuro predisposition but that doesnt mean they arent mostly treatable. stop trying to chase perfection people, good enough is enough for things like stuttering, its just the mindset of the people of this sub is so saddening because really treatments and progress using the psychological approach have been used for decades now. I dont care about studies and science in the case of stuttering because science and research needs funding and funding will not be given anytime soon to psychological approaches to stuttering, but all the resources are free online so why dont u just try? Reducing the stutter by even 50 percent (if u say that the biological part of it will linger) is a huge win. So just try
