Stuttering is all in the mind How many people believe stuttering is all in the mind? That most people stutter because we convinced ourselves that we have a stutter. I’ll give an example. In 2020 I kept telling myself that “I think I stutter more with words that start with vowels”. And in the past Iv never really thought of this and never had a stuttering issues with words that start with vowels. But I slowly kept telling myself that the vowels were the issue, now I get a block with almost every word that starts with a vowel when in the past I didn’t!? Just want to see what others think.
