Well in continuation of my last comment, I’m skeptical that it’s possible to use a technique to stop stuttering and actually have it work. I’ve never heard anyone say “wow that technique really worked and now I’m fluent.” For one thing, are you really fluent, or are you just covering up the stutter? Hiding the stutter from others is not the same as being fluent— in fact, it often brings much higher anxiety and tension I think. But I have heard people say that total acceptance and relaxation actually does make them fluent, for the most part. This is my experience as well. I mean, I still stutter, but it’s so much less than before, that I feel pretty fluent. The stuttering that I still experience barely bothers me at all. Every few weeks or so I’ll have a pretty severe stutter with a lot of repetitions that’s kind of embarrassing, but this happens because I forgot about my techniques of relaxation and slipped back into old mindsets. I no longer have really bad blocks, ever, and that was always the worst part by far. It seems that it’s not really possible to block if your body is relaxed. At least that’s my experience. And even though I’m still embarrassed by stuttering sometimes, the feeling doesn’t linger after the conversation is over. I don’t stress about it afterwards, and I don’t worry about upcoming speaking situations. I just feel a bit embarrassed, and then move on. So all the stuff about acceptance is not for the good vibes— it actually works better to reduce stuttering than techniques that directly try to reduce stuttering. …… At least that’s just my impression from my own experience, researching, and hearing other peoples’ stories. It’s not like I’ve empirically studied this. I could be wrong…. But I don’t think I am :) lol
