Glad to hear that speech therapy have been helpful. I think you misunderstood my comment about speech therapy though- I have definitely had great results with speech therapy myself. I still stutter but have gained a lot of tools to keep it under control. In periods I just tend to forget using them, so I have to be more stringent and focused, which can be stressing in an already stressed-out work-life. I have one major issue with speech therapy thought; I don’t stutter when I talk to my therapist. I am the calmest and most talkative person when in session, but as soon as I walk out the door it changes. I am based in Denmark, but thanks for the suggestions though. And yes, you are most correct regarding ‘rushing’ - again, a thing I have not focused on as of late. Have you checked out the McGuire programme? They emphasise stuttering on your own terms which sound a bit like what you describe. This programme is what have helped me the most in conquering my stutter and my attitude towards it. And hey, thank you for the long comment, there was several good advice I should put to use.
