I don't get all the negative components. Yes stuttering may be tied to some neurological differences, blood flow in your brain, yada yada, but there is an undeniable mental component to it and how many stutterers view speech as a performance and beat themselves up over every disfluency. I'm a 31 y/o PWS and saw this video years ago, and it helped me. Maybe the "cure" label triggered some people but this is a helpful video, albeit by no means a cure.
