It genuinely baffles me how people are still spreading “cures” and misinformation around here

Do you see the contradiction though? You would confirm that you have a natural flow of speech, it's there. You know what it's like to be fluent. Now let's think about what's happening when stuttering ...

Kind of. You have to relax your abdomen and your Valsalva Mechanism and focus on phonation. According to the Valsalva Hypothesis, stuttering is a confusion between the Brain, Larynx and Valsalva Mecha...

Just because stutterers don’t stutter along doesn’t eliminate the fact that there is definitely a neurological component in it. Stuttering is a very inconsistent and fluctuating disorder, so of cours...

That’s correlation not causation. That’s like saying people who stutter are more likely to have bigger penises so stuttering must cause having a bigger penis. It’s considered a neurological/neurogenic...

Sheehan stated: "It is just as important to explain termination of the block as the block itself. Two questions then become essential in the explanation of the stutterer's behavior: (1) What makes him stop? (2) What enables him to continue?”

In this STUTTER image (I created) - is visualized how inhibition, compensation, and error responses produce atypical activation in speech-related neural circuits, disrupting the timing and coordination needed for fluent speech.
