I went to speech therapy enough times as an adult already!!! They give you techniques that you are fine using in the therapy room but outside of the therapy room they are useless....everything outside the therapy room is spontaneous and fast!!!! I went to this ex-stutterer named Lee Lovette who says that stuttering is a bad habit which is bull...he says stuttering is caused by planning words and fearing words which is balogne!! I have tried affirmations and reading aloud and mind-training --nothing!!! I am ready and waiting to punch the next person who laughs or makes fun of me or asks me if I am OK--obvious putdowns!! But wait-I dont have it in me to punch a person for bullying me....!!!
