Many techniques taught inside the therapy room are simply *wrong*. It’s the equivalent of a doctor with improper training prescribing an antibiotic to a patient with some type of longterm food poisoning. Forcing the patient to keep taking the antibiotic will not help them. (My example may be medically incorrect but my point still stands). Of you keep practicing using the same bad habits, you will reinforce the bad habits! Common bad habits of PWS with mostly blocks are : force through blocks, switch words, avoid eye contact, take big inhales, and think you are successful if you prevented repetitions. If you want to speak as you wish and have results last, you want to basically do the opposite of those bad habits.
