You can't get rid of something that's a part of try. Trying to and trying to stop stuttering is what's making things miserable. You can go in the opposite direction and instead of fighting it, learn a...

I took the course about 15 years ago. In hindsight, the program was not a good fit for me. The idea is quite simple: Focus extremely on breathing (and visualising); learn what you want to say ...
