I don't really disagree with the stuff that you wrote. I get the sense from your criticisms in the other comments you are coming from a place of love and not simply to tear people down. To be honest I feel the same way sometimes when I read this sub, e.g. when I hear people say it's not possible for anyone to cure a stutter. My dad cured his when he was 8 or 9 so I always knew it's not an impossibility and was genuinely shocked when I learned people thought curing a stutter was impossible. Being firm and giving the hard truth is important, but only if it's grounded in the truth. For example I don't think people give themselves a stutter. Or if I am to steelman your position, I might guess you think people are capable of getting to the root of their stutter when it first starts (at a young age) and could have nipped it in the bud before it gets worse and worse over the years. Not sure if that's your claim, but if it is, I have some disagreements with it...one being that for a lot of people it's not just a singular event triggering a stutter. I genuinely don't remember any delineation of my life pre and post stuttering. I guess it came on gradually when I was 7, but I don't recall any embarrassing events that could have triggered it. There was one somewhat traumatic event, but the timeline doesn't really match up to when I started stuttering. Another is that the complexity of curing a stutter at a young age is very variable depending on the complexity of the "web of interplaying factors" as John Harrison might put it. For example, my dad cured his by doing mechanical speech exercises and singing a lot in the shower, per his speech therapist. These helped him tremendously and he was able to overcome it. If I were to guess, his seemed much, much less psychological. It took me until age 19 or so to realize that my stutter had a psychological component, then another 7 years to realize it had an generalized anxiety component, then another 3 years to realize that there was a dietary issues/physical body issues at play. Plant medicine has helped a lot with the psychological stuff. I'm going to try the Lee Lovett approach when my health issues start improving. Right now I'm focusing most of my energy on that.
