> we use voluntary stuttering in order to not really stutter and accept it My interpretation of voluntary stuttering was to help with desensitization and lessen the fear of a stuttering moment. It allows me to control the stuttering and not have the stuttering control me. Screw you stutter, I will stutter whenever I damn please. I never viewed voluntary stuttering as a method to lessen the stuttering itself. It's a tool of empowerment for me.
