So like .. what can I actually do to reduce my stuttering BESIDES exposure therapy????!!! (Please help) Like... Seriously. I've been through speech therapy for over 7+ years and all I've been taught was "fluency shaping techniques" and "stuttering modification techniques". Which Doesn't do shit outside the therapy room and I'm in a real conversation. I literally cannot use any of those strategies or techniques as a severe stutterer with speech blocks... Once I start blocking I literally cannot move any of my speech organs in any productive way besides shutting down and trying again. Which works... eventually. After I done stuttered for literally 30 seconds (wish I was fucking joking). So seriously.... What can I realistically do? Please help
