I agree that finding a good SLP therapist and identifying the reason why one stutters can be beneficial. You are very informative. I'm very intruiged! This is my attempt to summarize [your](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/okaf40/does_speech_therapy_work/) post from 2 years ago: * Stuttering is a bitch in that it can be a vicious circle. The more you stutter, the more you anticipate stuttering, which causes you to stutter more. But the circle can be broken with repeated success in fluency. * Relearn how to speak 'from the ground up * Acknowledge that stuttering is part of my learned speech * Learn to speak all over again as if teaching a machine to speak: * foundational things, such as breathing and airflow, how to begin airflow before voice onset, how to maintain airflow * single words, monotone, mush mouth * working on the mechanics by getting the muscle memory down through repetition * mush mouth = You press your lips together to say the word 'book.' What happens when you press your lips together? Your airflow stops. Airflow is critical. So you hit the B sound softly. You don't press your lips together. You keep the air going. You sound mush mouthed * learn to stop speaking before I ran out of breath, pause, breathe, and continue * Any time I'd stumble or block, we'd review what happened. Learn from the mistakes. * Later in the process, we began transitioning from mush / monotone to more normalized speech * Don't "race" during the transition * Use physical cues, such as raised hand while monotone, and lowering it as I transitioned to normal speech. As I progressed, we changed the cues to smaller physical actions. Closed hand to open hand. Pinched finger and thumb to open. Finger pressed down to released (something you could do in public without anyone ever noticing.) I agree with all of them. Are you willing to compose a detailed strategy with other tips, that I can apply to improve my stuttering?
