Let's discuss: Stuttering remission / How to achieve it? I'm not saying a cure or complete recovery. But Stuttering can wax and wane - an example of mindfulness: some may achieve stuttering remission for 10 years, and it has been reported that stuttering can return after 10 years if we start worrying that we might start stuttering again. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+\_+\_+\_+\_+\_+\_+\_+\_+\_+\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ In this post, we can engage in a discussion. Here are important questions we need to discuss: 1. What unhelpful attitudes / beliefs might prevent us from reaching a phase of stuttering remission? 2. What is the most underlying primary symptom of stuttering? (that we have at least somewhat control over) 3. What speech errors are we blaming exactly, to not move forward regardless? 4. How exactly do we avoid the initial speech plan? 5. What unhelpful attitudes / beliefs might increase the protection mechanism - and preventing us from saying the sound? (*which prevents synaptic dopamine levels from rising: Which results in a greater desire to avoid punishment or suffering than the desire to speak, the net result is that dopamine levels do not increase enough to reach the execution threshold, and the speech motor plan is never executed*) 6. What beliefs/attitudes are actually helpful towards associative / reinforcement learning? **Note**: It's important to discuss these questions. Because, not knowing the answers will likely increase the stutter disorder: * we then start focusing on unhelpful corrections * we let other stuttering family members answer these questions for us (in other words, our understandings and beliefs might get distorted due to stuttering influence resulting in systematically avoiding the initial speech motor plan, aka primary stuttering)
