Oh wow, see I picture Mexico as a paradise. That would've been an awesome childhood, growing up by the beach. But naturally I guess Canada is by and large safer and has more opportunities. I've heard of speech therapy not being beneficial for quite a few people. My impression is that stuttering cannot be cured, otherwise we would've heard all of the miracle recovery stories. There are strategies and techniques that we can work on and see how they help. I guess therapy helped me somewhat. I wish my therapist had actually heard me stutter more. My stutter is such that when I'm meeting with someone new, I rarely stutter, but the more I get to know them, or if its a job interview or any kind of potentially stressful situation, well then my stutter is enhanced. I hung on to all of my paperwork from therapy and I should certainly take more time to practise strategies. I've just kind of decided that I don't need to dwell on my stutter. It's a part of me and something that I want to be comfortable acknowledging and embracing as a part of who I am and nothing to be ashamed of. I would say if you're interested though, go back to an SLP, through the healthcare system. For me, it was at my local hospital. I live in Manitoba, and I had to wait about 5 months from the time I registered to when I was first seen. Part of that was there was no local SLP in my town.
