Stopped caring. The more I thought about not stuttering, about techniques to avoid getting stuck, it seemed that the worst it got. I still have bad days and good days, and speech therapy definitely helped a lot to build my own confidence, but just getting a rid of (most of) my anxiety and insecurities helped so much. Also, I found a speech therapist that focused much more on my confidence than on not stuttering techniques. It was life changing after years of learning to hide in speech therapy.
