I’m glad that was your experience. It isn’t for everyone. There are some things that do come easily and naturally like second nature but a lot of things I have to actively use my strategies for are things I have to be intentional and aware about. My speech is exponentially better now compared to a child before starting therapy. Some things I can manage without thinking about it but it’s the times that I do stutter that I have to be aware of using my strategies. I know some people with similar experiences and some that don’t. Fluency is also not a guarantee for everyone. There is no magical formula to practice x hours and x strategies to guarantee fluency. Everyone has a different response to therapy.
