Ive just found this page and have stuttered for 35 years now. This is my first exploration into researching for myself. This is an interesting point. The learned behaviors and gross motor activity are hindering the fluency progress even more. This gives me more questions. I see there are theories on lived experience, emotions, genes, and more. But what is the current definition for the stutter. Its sounds like the what I know as my own stutter is the over complication of my fluency. The gross motor activity. I feel the block coming on, i hit it, i say F it im powering through, W____wwww___w etc. So, if i did not learn these actions/masks. And myself and my subconscious was oblivious in the ability to subvert un wanted actions, what would my mouth and brain do when one of these blocks or whatever they’re called happens? Where is the block emerging? Or is this where the current state of the questing is?
