Helped me in many ways. ​ I am fluent whenever I read out loud, so It got me in a "fluent state of mind". Also helped me practice breathing, pausing every 3-5 words so I would breath, speaking slower, speaking calmer. It has dozens of benefits for me. Have you been to speech therapy? If not you should give it a try. If it's not possible for you search Youtube for some helpful videos and techniques.
