Thank you, I really appreciate it. Yes, I am now in a way better place! You're exactly right. The environment matters a lot for us when we are still learning to adopt the new speaking mechanism. I don't know the type of your stuttering, but in my experience, two things are the first for treatment: 1- Preparing yourself to not feel ashamed about the stuttering. Even after 6 years of treatment, I still can feel ashamed here and there, so don't be hard on yourself if you are starting. 2- Practice a lot in your alone times. Try to use all the techniques your speech therapist uses on you. I'm not a social person, which is bad, but I practice in front of the mirror every day and try to lecture for 15–20 minutes. The point is to speak perfectly (10/10) in those 10–50 minutes by using techniques. ​ Think of your speech therapy as a workout for your speech system! Everyone knows working out is a tedious work. I hope we all get better :)
