I went through PFSP training sessions four times, once at Hollins, twice with Ross Barrett, and another center in MA. Hollins was a huge success, and I was one of the more dysfluent speakers there. But within a year, cracks began to appear despite regular practice sessions. Despite all of the money, time, and effort, I was never able to achieve sustained fluency for more than a month or so. I began to believe that all these behavioral SLPs knew this was inevitable, but kept taking my money. Anyone with a severe stuttering issue can be helped immediately, as with DAF, but no one can sustain PFSP targets forever, and I think they know this. Since then, I’ve stopped chasing fluency. I try not to beat myself up myself anymore, but the issue has had such a negative impact on my life. Self-acceptance is all well and good, but this is no real comfort when competing for jobs in the public sector against people with no verbal communication issues.
