No, there is another option. Instead of "finding techniques to minimize the stutter. It feels like changing my way of talking and it is just to much effort.", which is a perfectly way way to feel about this kind of "speech therapy"; I know I felt this way. The alternative is to learn how to make stuttering less painful, aka less struggled. Working in this will also make it easier to accept and live your life on your terms. If I've learned anything it's that most speech therapists don't know how to treat stuttering. The education on stuttering in most graduate courses is either outdated, ineffective, and potentially harmful or it is nonexistent. But if you can find a good therapist who really understands stuttering and knows how it help, it can make all the difference in the world. Keep looking. Join the national stuttering association. Ask around. Maybe someone knows someone reputable in your area that won't focus on making you fluent and will focus on making you a happier, more comfortable communicator.
