C-PTSD and Stuttering Hey All! First time poster - I'm 24F who has stuttered all my life, regardless of how stressful the conversation is or who I'm talking with. My dad also has had a stutter his whole life. I know that trauma does not cause stuttering (mine is probably genetic cause my dad), but it's also true that stress and trauma can make an already existing stutter even worse. I experience flashbacks that essentially leave me emotionally and mentally incapacitated for a couple days. I always notice that when I have a flashback, my stutter gets so much worse and it takes weeks to get back to how I was doing before. Does anyone else who has PTSD or other mental health things notice their mood or mental health issue effecting their stutter?
