Trauma therapy, dissociation and stuttering
Content
Trauma therapy, dissociation and stuttering I have Complex PTSD and I've been in therapy for years. I'm pretty far along with processing trauma, I don't get flashbacks anymore. But I still have struggles in daily life, fears, emotional flashbacks, struggles with intimacy, you know if you know ... and I also still stutter, but it's always been mild. Recently, I had a major success in therapy, and a lot has changed for the better, but my stutter got worse. Then this week, I had a dissociative episode in therapy during which I was unable to speak and since have stuttered so badly. It's rarely ever been this bad. It left me pretty scared. Right now, I can't control it at all. I guess the stutter is somehow related to dissociation or the state of consciousness in which I stutter is dissociated. Honestly, I kind of always guessed there was something like that going on. Kind of interesting, mostly awful! Does any of you have similar experiences? Did stuttering improve with trauma therapy?
