I'd say that it's probably more likely to just be social if it's someone that's going to "grow out of it". I doubt that it's that way for many adult stutterers at all....

My theory is that for some people, stuttering is a completely social/mental behavior. For others, it's neurological. A good, but not foolproof, way to know the difference is if you stutter while by yo...

thank you for taking the time. I was a firm beliver that stutter had to do with underdeveloped brocas area in our brains, but after not being able to pee in public last weekend(lol), i made the connec...

Great questions!!! This is my attempt to answer them. Yes, I think hypnotherapy can help to address the psychological factors and triggers. Regarding your use of the terminology '*Neurological*', it...

Hey, sorry I got back to you so late! Medical school is tough. I’m co-authoring a paper and also writing one of my own (but the uni is an arse and doesn’t want to fund it whatsoever). I’ve been forced...

Personally, r/InternalFamilySystems therapy has been the biggest change changer for me. We are not broken and if you feel so IFS will be a game changer. Especially for trauma, self worth and being sel...

Woaw amazing! We need more posts like these! >"*Stuttering can be traumatic, I personally believe it can bring about symptoms of C-PTSD. These moments of powerlessness are actually traumatic. If yo...

I think about 7 or 8. My parents got divorced and blamed me for it, screamed at me anytime I voiced my opinion...

How old were you when you started stuttering, and what was the trauma that triggered it?...

Awesome post! Questions we can then ask ourselves are: What are plausible explanations for the abnormal eye movements that accompany stuttering? Is it genetic or does it indicate brain function - in ...

I asked my neurologist about this years ago because I was curious. He said it could be linked but it’s more likely to be a phycological response from years of “trauma” anything from bullying to just p...

Yep, of course! Recently, as in the last two weeks, I was diagnosed officially with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and PNES (psychogenic non-epileptic seizures or functional seizures). Appar...

I developed an onset stutter when I was 28. I know your frustration. Can I ask what the medical event that triggered it was? Mine appears to be psychogenic. Still haven’t been able to find answers mys...
