Understand it. However, did you find any successful stories or anyone who overcame the issue? Via CBT or Acceptance Therapy or any. Mine is Anticipatory anxiety triggered speech blocks, the moment I ...

Yeah that's a big thing for me too. We all have rich inner lives, ambitions, dreams. Just curious if you think your stutter came from a childhood trauma or if it's purely physical/neurological?...

Abit late to the party but I'd like to say what happend to me My grumps/grandad was a dick and liked to take the pics out of people that stutter and me being a kid copied him for a long time and as I...

I don’t agree with the first lines. He is not playing the victim, he IS a victim of abusive parents. He is completely right in acknowledging that in order to heal from the trauma they caused. And he h...

I feel you bro, i'm mid/late 20's working on a masters degree in tech after transitioning from my undergrad in social sciences. I haven't had a job in almost 2 years after quitting due to the crunch o...

You also say that this can explain for a child but not an adult. Are you aware of attachment styles and attachment theory in psychology. It basically explains that problems that happened in childhood ...

I'll share a story. I have a frameshift mutation on a particular gene. It has been noted to be connected to speech delays, amongst other things. My son has the same mutation. However, he is globall...

This might explain for a child, though I highly doubt that as when I was a child, I never forced or anybody else forced me to speak, yeah I was made to laugh at, because I had an unique name which I c...

Cause of stuttering (2nd attempt)

Cause of stuttering (2nd attempt) Cause of stammering (part 2). Reading the previous document where I attempted to explain why I stammer, I noticed I didn’t explain it well (again). But it’s a complex...
