I don't know this therapy called broca brothers. However, I just now googled them and in my opinion I think it's a highly recommended stutter therapy to tryout. Apparantly these brothers also stuttered but they removed stuttering in their 20s. They have an academic Psychology degree and for the last years they have helped stutterers who aim for fluency. I recommend this therapy, because: My argument is: * On their website they state: "**A struggle between wanting to say something but not wanting to stutter. A struggle between wanting to express yourself, but not wanting to ‘look bad**’." - I agree with this statement, because this supports my statement which is "Stutterers are justifying symptoms/secondary behaviors and at the same time trying to control or stop the symptoms/secondary behaviors in an unhelpful way. * They state: "**Completely stop doing techniques**" - I agree, because stutterers can aim for fluency like when we don't stutter when alone (where our right-hemisphere is overactive by doing monitoring and interventions aka adding control - which is what I don't recommend) versus fluency like when we chorally speak (where our right-hemisphere is not overactive). In other words, I agree with their statement, because they prioritize subtracting (over adding) control
