I did reply but it seems to be lost so I'll try and summarise again. After various types of speech therapy failed, I started to figure it out on my own. I had a severe stammer most of the time, b...

Nope, no contradicting happening here! Maybe it’s just semantics. Actually, severe dysfluency/blocking more closely parallels PTSD, as per professionals who actually study dysfluency. But I try to...

>I've gained a lot of fluency just by working through my traumas, dealing with anxiety issues, and examining the various factors that lead to my own dysfluency. I'm very interested. What factors d...

You're contradicting yourself when first you say stuttering is social anxiety, then you acknowledge that most people with social anxiety don't stutter. I completely agree with everything else you say...

If you block the moment a person starts listening, then it’s entirely in your mind. It is still real and very impactful and very addressable. There’s no reason to read Scientology adjacent books to...

My whole life. And yes I've been to a few pathologists when I was younger. I've done the practice and it didn't help much. I'll admit I've stopped over the past few years, but I think it doesn't work ...

What sucks is I don't even think there is a way to cure that. Like with me I stutter horribly when saying my own name, but I can say alot of other things like ask for a beer and not stutter. I don't g...

it's probably not the best reason but i've seen other people go through a lot of trauma when i was growing up and thought that was much worse. for context my parents were fleeing a war to come to the ...

Yes, most ppl w social anxiety do not stutter, but that proves nothing. PWS block bc of fear of remembering previous distressing talking situations. You block when ordering coffee bc of years of *no...

Question about stuttering

Question about stuttering I'm reading that stress can't cause a person to begin to stutter, but I have begun to stutter when I end up in stressful situations, like say grocery shopping days before Chr...

Yes! I’m essentially mute when angry, or really any super strong emotion. I learned to bury my feelings away so intensely that now as an adult Im learning to properly name and experience those emotion...

In my case no time doesn't help anything really except the older I get the less I care if I stutter in public or not. If you get lazy and let time go by without actively putting yourself out there &am...

Thank you for sharing your experience. So, what Exposure Therapy (ERP or ACT) exercises did you do with the psychiatrist? In OCD medication is often used in last case scenarios if you would otherwise ...

As someone in the field of Linguistics, I am very interested to know what causes stuttering, where does our brain fail to send the message, where is the problem happening exactly. What is the biologic...

>*"I had trouble studying and had severe OCD which made life a living hell. I would struggle to choose between my OCD and stuttering.* You mentioned that you stutter and experience OCD. [This post...

[Research (2022)](https://i.imgur.com/MAjzt1b.png) states that personal thoughts, beliefs and emotions all contribute to developing stuttering. I just bought this new book: Kenneth J. Logan-Fluency Di...

Crazy

Crazy It’s crazy how so many people stutter like me and didn’t even realise . 17 and I have been stuttering since I was born really and still haven’t found the cause , could it be genes as my parents...

The cold heart truth is that stuttering is an anxiety disorder and that all the neurological pathways are the consequence of stuttering. People might have a predisposition to anxiety and to more speci...

I feel the same way about your posts here. I think my point is that it could be very useful to rethink dysfluency to including the emotional components as primary bxs....

>I will do this by becoming a neurologist and helping people with neurological conditions while i’m also studying the brain but specifically the part that controls speech and how that ties together...
