You argue that there is no cure so stutter therapies don't focus on removing stuttering. That's right! There have been no people who have removed stuttering with therapy because there is no cure. 80% of kids who stuttered, have removed stuttering automatically (researchers state). The people on this reddit who removed stuttering also confirmed this, that it wasn't therapy that removed stuttering. So your statement 'there is no cure' is correct, because there is no treatment to remove stuttering. Then how did they remove stuttering automatically? Well, if you read their comments on reddit, they advice: \- confidence in your ability to speak fluently \- Everyone knows or feels (right before they stutter) that they are going to stutter (let's call this anticipation a 'trigger'). So they learned to not react to this trigger by not giving meaning/importance to it and this results in learning that this trigger doesn't have power, isn't fearful, isn't your identity, isn't a fact/true, isn't scary \- stop doing the compulsion, stop justifying compulsion \- stop making the trigger important enough to expect (be convinced) that you are not able to stop the compulsion
