My stutter is like the Borg in the movie Star Trek: First Contact. Remember the scene where Picard and Warf are walking in space on the surface of the Enterprise and Warf warms the crew that they’ll only get a few shots before the Borg adapt, reconfigure their shields, and the crew’s shots will no longer have any effect? Well, that is EXACTLY how my dysfluency operates. Every single method I’ve tried, even the SpeachEasy with 20 modifications, worked for about a week before my stutter “adapted.” The only method I found that remotely has any effect, and this only works 30% of the time, is “easing into the first sound.”
