Why isn't none of the speech strategies my slp taught me not working? My stuttering is semi severe and I think it's getting worse. I mainly have blocks but lately it's become repetitive sounds like "c..c..c..cc..can" but everytime I pause and try again I just go into a severe block. Everytime I try to use a strategy I just block and can't move my mouth and no air is coming out of my throat. Can someone explain to me whats happening? And don't tell me some bullshit like " well strategies are only supposed to improve your speech not cure your stutter" because the strategies are not even working at all.
