Stuttering IS trauma Something that I never realised was that I'm actually experiencing trauma nearly 24/7. I've always thought that trauma needs to be something huge like a big accident or smth but each time I stutter, my brain registers it as trauma. So next time I say that word that I stuttered on, it will try to protect me and cause brain fog and like a mental block from saying it. I can't help but fear saying that word. Now that I'm learning more about myself, does anyone know how to teach the brain that it's not something to be feared? I know that the brain is plastic so these things can be unlearned.. but how should we react and talk to ourselves in that moment we stutter? Like, 'it's okay to stutter?' How do we view that experience to not make it so traumatic?
