I have read several times in this duscussion forum that stuttering is caused by traumatic events and can be cured by hypnosis. There is no scientific support for this statement and is in fact false. ---Stuttering is one of the only disabilities in which the person is often blamed for that disability. It is something that he/she is doing wrong. That the person just needs to work a little harder. ---Research DOES support the idea that stuttering is genetic and is caused by neurological differences.--- There is hope. Stuttering can be MANAGED successfully. It is possble to be a dignified stutterer.--Hypnosis is not going to cure our stuttering.
