It sounds like the psychiatrist that u/Thealyn_ found was actually not very well informed but I wouldn't say that there's no kernel of truth to what they said. As far as I understand, stuttering is a genuinely caused by the specific neurology of your brain (something with basal ganglia?) and this may or may not have a genetic origin. That being said, my stutter is \*enormously\* affected by my emotions. If I feel comfortable with someone it's not a big deal at all, but if I'm nervous, my stutter gets so bad that I basically lose ability to talk. I've known stutterers who didn't seem to have the same sorts of struggles as I did, so I'm not saying this advice applies to everyone but the biggest benefit I got from speech therapy was on the psychological side of things. We started doing traditional speech therapy but eventually it transitioned to something more like traditional therapy, but focused on stuttering. It completely changed how I think about stuttering. Instead of feeling shame about it, now I (mostly) think it's just something that makes me who I am. The neuro origin of my stutter hasn't changed, but it doesn't drag me down when I stutter now like it used to. I found my speech therapist through the local university in my city and I'd definitely recommend going through a similar program. Good luck!
