"Are you implying that stuttering is psychological?" According to researchers/therapists: \- "stuttering is genetic which means, our brains are wired differently because we have a neurological predispositioning" \- "neurological issues for TBI stutterers have nothing to do with neurological issues in a developmental stutterers. Neurologicaly predispositioning for developmental stutterers only means that they have a higher tendancy for tensing speech muscles when perceiving stresses (fear)." Conclusion: \- basically, we constantly think 'I will stutter now' (our trigger). If we eliminate these stresses (triggers), we don't stutter. But psychology dictates one cannot eliminate stresses (aka triggers). So trying to ignore or stop these triggers is pointless (not effective) \- however new research states that we can learn to change our perspective and response to the stresses (triggers) in order to change our stutter mentality by making the stress (trigger) less important (remove meaning) in order to stop expecting a stutter and then stop compulsion
