I experience that we (almost) never speak about strategies to unlearn stuttering here on Reddit. But.. Why not? **Genetics:** Isn't it because we often shout: "*No, it's genetic and neurological*"? I think that we should distinguish: (A) speech planning difficulty stuttering (from genetics/neurology) and (B) execution difficulty stuttering (from a defensive reaction to perceived errors, like self-fulfilling prophecy / people's judgement / a stutter state reinforcing doubt and possibility to stutter / anxiety or anticipation. However, persistent stuttering appears to be of the execution difficulty type-stuttering. Recovery from execution difficulty stuttering seems to be the rule, rather than the exception, and most recovery occurs in early childhood
