I think you've got it! Dr. Martin Schwartz from New York gave three-day courses that dealt with breath control and stuttering. I attended one of his courses but wasn't motivated enough to follow through, though I met others who had full fluency by using his technique. There's also a video on Youtube, ‘Real Stories Stammer School’ showing stammerers who can't even say their names, block every sound and master their stuttering. I fully recovered after 70 years of stuttering through psychological therapy dealing with an abusive childhood. I've been fully fluent for 5 years now. I found that fluency breeds confidence and loss of speech anxiety. You'll find that too. Bravo. It IS possible to regain your voice. Speaking can become effortless. You have discovered what works for you. Please keep posting to encourage others. Sue
