Let's all discuss. What are your thoughts? What is the origin of stutter triggers? How are stutter triggers developed? https://preview.redd.it/2thx0yyuxp3e1.png?width=1746&format=png&auto=webp&s=c01df46bdb7758c4aecac0ab0d37f24d5670de8e Stutter triggers - such as fear or the anticipation of stuttering - can exacerbate stuttering. These triggers are shaped by a complex interplay of psychological, social, and emotional factors. The diagram explains how such triggers are developed - according to various psychological frameworks. While each framework may use a different terminology for "stutter triggers" they all provide unique perspectives on how external and internal stimuli interact to shape behavior and responses. **Why this matters:** Understanding how stutter triggers are formed is essential for designing effective interventions to "[**extinguish**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N4iQg6Fyw8w8TmavS2v3tDDc03FA8qs6/view?usp=sharing)" them. It raises important questions about current desensitization techniques used in speech therapy: Why might these methods fall short, and how could they be improved? If these techniques are insufficient, they may inadvertently disrupt the [**extinction process**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cPQsXtVOsilnUHL9E9gNTYcfz1pU1nHH/view?usp=sharing), and instead reinforce [**extinction failure**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_wNErk-Pc7-7UW5y8OMa9IdBZUOYE79b/view?usp=sharing). **What I’m hoping to learn:** I’d love to hear your thoughts, or experiences with this topic. * How do you think stutter triggers - like, fear of failure and stutter anticipation are shaped? * Which theoretical frameworks (from the diagram) do you think are most relevant to your own stutter triggers? Looking forward to a thought-provoking discussion! 😊
