Well this post was longer than I hoped. I included a TL:DR section at the bottom but you really need to understand how to be your own therapist to make this work. Well I really want to point out that im not qualified to give real therapy advice. One, im not an SLP and Two, I dont know you or your experiences of speech style. That said, there are things that I know that do help people and im trying to apply them now. I havent really been able to do them on my own but I was thankfully able to get in touch with a really great therapy who had created a personal program for me. If you want the longer version I can give it to you but for now i'll just give you what im currently working on. Step One is pretty much to clean up your speech pattern. We do a bunch of extra junk to try to keep from stuttering that has actually become a part of our stuttering pattern. This includes anything and everything that isn't a part of normal speech outside from stuttering. Examples include: not making eye contact, word substitution, repeating words or phrases to get a "running start", using interjections (um, uh), and a host of other things. So I start with my biggest junk trick/tool (for me it's running starts) and I find a very low feared situation. Then I set an assignment to talk in that low feared situation and not use any running starts. Thats the whole goal, amount or intensity of stuttering is irrelevant. Once I feel ok with those, I can move up to more feared situations and other junk behaviors im trying to eliminate. Making and carrying out assignments is the basis of my daily work. I do 3 a day. sometimes more. never less. If you want to get a better understanding of this approach, check the podcast episodes I spoke talk in this post. What Vivian says is exactly what im talking about: http://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/30jksb/seldom_told_truths_about_stuttering_and_therapy/ TL,DR: I choose an unnecessary junk behavior (running starts/word substitution), pick 3 assignments in low feared situations (talking to parents/close friends) and have a short chat or w/e where my only goal is to not use the junk behavior. Slowly but surely I eliminate the unnecessary behavior. There's a lot more to it than just that but that's the jist.
