Yes, but talking by yourself and seeing yourself be more fluent alone reduces anticipation on some of the feared words. This is what makes stuttering worse - anticipation. I think that by seeing how much more fluent you can be helps reduce the fear overall. Its not easy to transfer these skills, and stuttering will not be eliminated completely, which is something we should keep in mind.
