Those ideas probably come from SLPs with litetally zero training in dysfluency. They are about as helpful as asking a professional makeup artist to see if your mole is cancerous. If those are what ...

I think you’re taking the “practice makes perfect” term wrong. The point is simply just speak to people and have conversations in your daily life even if you will stutter. You are practicing to get yo...

Practice doesn’t make perfect for me. I had a presentation that I practiced using speech techniques that I was told to by my speech pathologist. However, when I presented I got blocks again and skipped a whole two paragraphs in my presentation. Advice to not go into fight or flight mode?
