It's not you, this happens to the majority of people who go through a fluency shaping program. You don't want to do it because it feels inauthentic and it sucks. It reinforces shame that stuttering is bad therefore you are bad when you stutter. When the techniques work, it's because of the techniques. When they don't, it's because of you. It's complete bullshit.
