And yet it could be the truth.  Why do we not stutter severely when alone?  Even hitting a stutter reading out loud alone, how easy is it to get past it?  There is no pressure, what else is there but ...

I believe so, speed most often increases physical tension of the speaking muscles and higher tension contributes to more blocking in PWS....

Absolutely true, but they carry habituated thoughts (sometimes subtle sometimes not) that contribute to and activate the tension that causes word scanning/stuttering/blocking etc. People who don’t stu...

It’s GREAT that you’ve recognized it’s based on anxiety. Took me 24+ years to accept that fact. The moment I did, my fluency took a 180. Like others said, acknowledge it’s just anxiety and not a perso...

In my experience, my emotions either made my stuttering worse or triggered it. Has the thought of making that first phone call to a romantic interest not caused is much fear of stuttering that you blo...

Adrenaline from anger helped me get past my stuttering from the past. Low brain chemical activity from calmness helped me recently. Which ever works for you. Brain chemicals can affect stuttering in ...

And yes it is dumbass, normal people dont hold their fuckin breath when they talk ! Stutterers do hold their breath. Maybe if you tried some breathing exercises you'll realize that it to just like i d...

No I don't go to a therapist. Sure we all know how to breath just like we know exactly how to speak when were alone, right?? When we have that anxiety that anxiety fucks with our breathing and we stut...

Hello Does this have anything to do with the amygdala? Alex Honnold is a unique climber whose amygdala shows almost no activity, which results in a very calm character and lack of fear. I stutter mys...

>Even with years of practice and breath techniques etc. It sounds like you were taught fluency shaping and found it as useless as I (and the majority of those who tried it) did. I clearly didnt com...

You know what I've noticed about people who stutter, alot are very pessimistic. It may not address the mental side of stuttering but it definitely address the physical side cuz we stutter physically d...

Not sure if all stuttering is caused by childhood trauma. Although I like the theory of decay threshold and social fear as an amplifier/activator of stuttering, there remains several evidence that stu...

The only way for you to conclude this about the theory is: not having understood the theory at all, not understanding the behavioral concepts used (or attributing a common-sense meaning that implies"f...

I am sorry for taking so long to answer, I've been answering other people so far. Reinforcing what I said before: *We cannot confirm the role of dopamine in stuttering, only that "there's a relatio...

Yes, theoretically, conditioning can be broken, but it is extremely difficult. You described a situation that can happen, but how many people can actually organize their lives around that to face stut...

***Fear-panic response – How do we minimize its impact or increase our tolerance to conditioned stimuli?*** I don’t know if we can increase tolerance directly, since the stimulus is there to precisel...

I'll answer from here: Thank you for your comment! You seem quite versed in behavioral psychology, which helps in understanding the theory and will also help in understanding my responses to you now!...

So, you might wonder: If people who stutter also experience the disintegration effect under more severe emotional conditions, could anyone develop stuttering? Theoretically, yes, but it is very, very...
