Well, this was about 20 years ago so bear with me as I try to remember - many of the skills she taught me were breathing-related. What we did was read. I read out loud to her and to myself (recorded) to find the words, sounds I was blocking up on. Mostly, hard consonants. She helped my find my inner breathing tempo which is so hard - can't maintain a rhythm when you're blocking up so much. We did some vowel elongation for longer words. Also we worked on tongue placement and relaxing my mouth, jaw, chest and neck. And mostly, honestly - just the intensive practicing speaking out loud helped me help myself and helped me gain confidence. I would work through/play with sounds and the way I produced them. Do I consider myself fluent? No. Do I struggle everyday still? YES. But, if you asked most of my coworkers and acquaintances if I stutter - they'd say no. I had 2 speech blocks this morning during a meeting. The words didn't come out, and it's fine. I don't force it anymore. I don't care if I sound silly or like my mind is jumping around. And if I do force it and audibly stutter - I let that happen too. I've been made fun of before, but as I get older I find that it doesn't happen very often. On another note, yoga helped me learn to isolate muscle groups so that before I have to go up and speak to a large group (this happens 4-5x per year) I relax my whole face, shoulders and chest. Also, I try not to get in my head. I go up and talk to 200 people and have worked hard not think about my stuttering at all. It helps keep my anxiety and the muscle tension to a minimum. Good luck with everything! My child suffers from a variety of neurological and muscle issues that keep him from speaking like a typically developing child. And my husband grew up with similar speech issues. We're a speech impaired family, but we are firm believers in therapy and rewiring of the brain through consistent practice. Does it always work, no, but can it help? Yes.
