>cuz we stutter physically due to lost of breathing control. Is this what the therapist told you? It's not true. Stuttering is not a breathing problem. We all know how to breathing and speak. You do it everyday. >i stutter too and i realize i stutter as do so many others is cuz we speak with lack of correct breathing This is not why you stutter. This is just wrong information and if it's coming from an SLP, they are not informed about stuttering. >Btw i don't use the term "techniques" cuz the ones i practice are are basic necessity to having normal speech Im very glad you found something that works for you and you are happy with but I dont know why if I could call speaking with fluency shaping techniques normal speech. Maybe you're able to control your disfluencies with it, but I dont think fluency shaping is what anyone would call normal speech. It's not how fluent people sound nor is it how comfortable stuttering sounds.
