> Hey man, i saw your post somewhere and iirc, you also have a severe-stutter. How did you make your way into it and improve it? Did you use a few techniquess to help lessen it? or just spoke your way through with stutter? This is strictly my opinion, but I have a firm belief that if you do seek speech therapy, it will be futile if you do not first address the negative emotions,fear of stuttering, and avoidance. You need a strong mental base before you try to tackle fluency. Fortunately, the things I have worked on, fluency is a byproduct. The irony is, the more you go down this path the less fluency matters to you. The first step for me was to stop thinking like a stutter ("oh i cant do this word because I will stutter") and to stop equating a good conversation with "was i fluent?". It took me a very long time to realize I had many successes in life and I stuttered through all of it. That helped me let go of chasing fluency. Chasing fluency is so mentally demanding and I live so free now. There is really so much to talk about, but hopefully this answered your question a bit.
