Very interesting on the breathing. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I haven't gone super deep on the breathing as you have, but I have had to slow down everything from breathing to enunciating words better. That seems to have helped quite a bit along with adding pauses and then breathing in between, so maybe there is a lot to that. I've also tried to add some of the crutches like soft onset but I'm not sure how helpful some of those were. Through a combination of these things I have achieved maybe an 80-90% fluency. I find that I also need to get good sleep most of the time because having to pay more attention to speaking just takes more cognitive demand. And through all this, I've had to work on multiple areas of my life. Perhaps that one made the biggest difference. I am in the phase behind you where I am still in the corporate world and get anxious as hell when I foresee a scenario where I may have to introduce myself as that is the one thing that still is hit or miss in terms of fluency. I am still looking for something to alleviate that but I realize I may just have to bite the bullet and divulge that, stutter, and simply let it roll off. Many have said the moment you stop caring whether you stutter or not is when you don't. I just seem to not be able to let go enough to really see it. On the topic of comedy, have you heard of Drew Lynch? That guy is probably stuttering worse than you and I and still somehow gets up on stage to do his thing. Truly an inspiration. Anyways, hope that works out for you!
