Same results. I stuttered as long as I can remember. Swallowed my fears and joined an 8 week Dale Carnegie public speaking class. I was told by the instructor (a former stutterer) to clasp my hands together and "pump" my words out. After 8 weeks I was still pumping, but not stuttering. Some time, in the next few months, I stopped pumping.. And have never stuttered again. You'll never know, till you try .
