This is the answer I was looking for. I'd appreciate if you can tell me more either here/in DMs. I've heard about somatic therapy before (a few years ago) when I was looking into approaches to deal with a separate, physical injury. But I was never able to find any simple or transparent details as to what it actually entails because it was covered under the guise of some esoteric practice or "*Buy my course to learn mor*e" type veil. I totally agree with you that this goes behind conscious programming and perhaps even subconscious programming. Since our body in itself has a mind of its own to keep us alive and operate on animalistic instincts (sympathetic nervous system, etc.). This is why we breathe on our own and heal cuts without any direct commands. And lastly, have you managed this better or have done somatic therapy yourself? I feel like this just isn't studied or talked about enough when it comes to stuttering or in general for many conditions such as general anxiety. Again, I am not a doctor or trying to come across as a smart ass. Just really needs more digging into for us to understand why we react the way we react, when we are so completely unaware of the root cause of things.
