It's similar how some gay people in the past got pushed into the conversion therapy. It's how the brain is shaped in early childhood and it's not *just* emotional. It certainly osn't "fixable" in the ...

That's why I said, "MOSTLY due to you not truly allowing yourself to stutter freely," because I'm aware that other conditions/reasons exist why some people stutter. For you it might be neurological, ...

This is utter bullshit. Maybe for you it was an anxiety issue. I’ve had all the medical stuff & it’s 100% a neurological issue. I’m never scared to talk I don’t get anxiety I just have blocks/stutters...

For some it’s an actual neurological condition & for some it’s an emotional response. It depends on the person. But all these people in here stating it’s just an emotional reaction or it’s because you...

Mental health and stuttering?

Mental health and stuttering? Does anyone with a stutter also experience anxiety attacks or panic attacks? Other related symptoms are accelerated heart rate and sometimes chest pains. I often feel lik...

You know, even though whoever created / scripted this scene clearly has dated views of stuttering, labelling it as purely a psychological issue, I still respect and appreciate them for attempting to t...

If fear was the cause, then any anti-anxiety SSRI medication would fix it! Do you agree?

If fear was the cause, then any anti-anxiety SSRI medication would fix it! Do you agree? In reply to the main statement. I believe this assumption is wrong. For example, deeply conditioned unseen/s...

Genuinely interested on the point you make about "trauma doesnt cause stuttering" in your post. Can you expand on that?  I went through exposure therapy for traumatic childhood events and that thera...

Upon leaving home and going off to college my stuttering left. I didn't notice it until my 2nd semester of my freshman year. Occasionally comments were made about me leaving home with my mom caused it...

How accurate is this?

How accurate is this? Growing up even I got many people saying to me that it's just a confidence issue or your just scared and I was always pissed about it because I knew it was wrong and I was not so...

I am so sorry you went through that as a child. I had my fair share of emotional and mental abuse but it was never physical and never blamed on my stutter and I was never told those things so for that...

Are you able to see a doctor to have them do some kind of brain imaging? If you have no history of studying as a child, the reason it would develop as an adult as if your brain incurred some type of t...

Yes, I stammer and the same thing happened to me when I went to preschool. My father told me that I was originally left handed but the teachers at school changed me to right and soon after he noticed ...

I can speak for myself and recommend some trauma therapy. I’m currently doing Internal Family Systems and it’s helping me....

I was incredibly anxious when I was in my late teens. I dropped out of school because of fear of stuttering and completely withdrew. I didn't understand how I could do anything or find a way forward. ...

Yeah it sounds like severe PTSD, and those anxieties come from very real negative encounters. The problem of the dysfunction is that you start to view every interaction as the same. Stuttering for me,...

My mom was a stutterer and I sadly god it from her, I don't think fear or trauma is the reason....

My first language is Creole, but I immigrated to Australia when I was only 3 y.o. I guess the challenge of having to learn English whilst still developing my Creole messed up my neural speech network...
