If you lost all memory of ever having a stutter, would you stop stuttering? This is a question I've asked myself a lot. I'm sure the answer differs between person to person cause some people's causes for a stutter are more physical, but what about mental causes? Like for me, my stutter is 100% mental, so I feel like I would suddenly stop stuttering if I lost all memory of it. Because I have caught myself speaking fluently from time to time, and it was due to me completely forgetting about my stutter for a moment. What do you think would happen?
