That wasn't my point at all, I was just coming to OP's defense because his comments to you were justifying his decision to try hypnosis, which you thought was them "forcing themselves out of it". Why pick on someone who is wanting to try something new? We all want to alleviate our stutter and ease negative thinking patterns surrounding our speech. Stuttering isn't curable, but the anxiety and fear surrounding speaking is. If hypnosis can hypothetically ease anxiety symptoms, I think that's a cool thing to explore, don't you? And if you don't, don't let your own bias affect someone else's decision to try something new.
