There is something to be said about your perspective. I've entertained it for a while. Firstly, meditation has shown to increase the concentration of white matter cells in the brain, which aid left and right hemisphere connectivity. Stutterers are demonstrated to have altered corpus callosum structure (the "platform" that facilitates connectivity between the two). HOWEVER, let's be careful about attributing direct causal influence as you may set people up for disappointment. Secondly, the inner voice is hypothesized to be a function of the Default Mode Network (DMN), which is a brain network active in resting states. The Central Executive Network (CEN), the cognitive control network active during cognitive tasks, is responsible for generation of speech in good part. The CEN and DMN are seen as opposing networks (when one is active, the other isn't). As such, if inner speech as per DMN simultaneously activates with CEN, it can interfere with the well-functioning of the CEN and so successful execution of the speech motor command. I have made strides with my speech in recent times. Freely talking to strangers and calling people is a step I took quite a while ago. I work sales and even do public speaking. AND YET, I do not call myself cured because I have derived no cure and I don't want to set myself up for failure. If you claim you're cured, one chink in the armor, one disappointing event, is all it takes to have the rug pulled out from under you. And then the depressive episode starts. I've been through this countless times. Nonetheless, you are putting forth an interesting discussion. I would like to ask: 1. Has your outer voice has replaced your inner voice in moments of silence? Or do you not experience inner speech at all? 2. How does it manifest when you're reading? Do you find yourself silently phonating words (activation of articulatory organs) or are you able to contain it in your head?
