[@user-jn6jm4bb6f]

Recent studies are beginning to understand that childhood trauma, much like stuttering, causes Tourette syndrome. In a normal state, the emotions produce a kind of "wave" that passes through the brain that allows the emotion to come out and express itself through words. When an external factor (such as a parent) conveys to the child that he does not deserve to be heard, the parent somehow blocks the flow of this wave, and then we as adults experience one form or another of frustration. However, a serious trauma causes a "dam" in the expression of emotions, causing an increase in the frustration and thus the intensity of the "wave", and the "wave" that cannot come out as if explodes inside the brain and causing problems with speech, Tort, violence, etc. and probably other problems. According to them, since no child is born with a stutter and / or with Tourette's syndrome, these are probably problems that were imposed on the child later on in his life.

This dude has crazy emotional intelligence for being able to realize his errors on his own! Either that, or his therapist did a really good job!

I don't know if anyone actually is this self-aware or articulate, but it's a great model to try to emulate. Thank you!
