Don’t worry, their stutter is not their “hurdle to overcome”!! It’s merely a facet of their character. Their hurdle is, for the most part, depression & anxiety, which I’ve been told makes stutteri...

1. What caused your stutter? Was there a (traumatic) trigger, or did you develop it from birth/childhood—or even at random? Nothing caused it. I dont think stutters are caused. (I cant speak for ever...
