I just took his therapy for about 8 weeks. It was beneficial, but not a cure for sure. I understand more of why I stutter and the exercises are helpful in reducing the pressure and negative associatio...

Agree. I spent 2.5 hours each way to go sit in a room with bad wifi. At least they bought me breakfast and lunch. Even if you do not get a placebo, it will only help a subset of PWS. Not everyone has ...

Some treatments work for some stutterers. Some people with ADHD and Autism still don’t find any relief from their treatments. All these issues that have been brought up are incredibly complex and th...
