Remember that Lee G. Lovett isn't a speech-language pathologist. There might be something you can use, of course. But professionals might say different things, or say important things in different ways. - --- - *Moved from below:* It's not a requirement that in order for speech therapy to be effective, the speech therapist must have a stutter themselves. That's a bit like saying doctors must suffer from all the ailments that they cure. Also, any therapy setting comes with factors which might influence the way it goes (e.g. the relation between therapist and client). If all your therapists told you to relax and slow down, it sounds like perhaps they weren't trained well, or maybe you were too young for them to meaningfully say anything else to you, or perhaps you didn't understand what they told you, or you didn't have enough sessions to get to the more important parts. Lots of things could be the case. Therapy can also be more efficient with age. Have you been since? :)
