Ok it is going to be a long post at 17 i went in a holiday in my home country and saw a no names therapist who taught me a technique that didnt even work i kept seeing him for one month The technique basically was keeping my vocal cords on by saying the “a” sound it didnt work one bit And i wasted my money and time where i was supposed to have fun At 19 i joined a programme similar to that of the maguires programme , met lots of people who stutter and learnt the techniques consisted of diaphramtic breathing and voluntarily stuttering And it required alot of practice like doing breathing exercises for 2 hours once you wake up and Talking to 100 strangers everyday This was a heavy toll on my mental health i didnt have time to enjoy study workout nothing just my only concern was completing my tasks and after that i just gave up I am trying to accept my stutter and all the differences that i have
