see, i'm stuttering since i was 6.schooltime was pretty horrible due to dickhead-children earlier and ignorant/unprepared teachers ("speak slower","think before you're speaking","knock on the table while speaking.."etc), that where treating me like e retarded person because i couldn't communicate as i wanted to, later. this resulted in immense pressure and fear of beeing different.i was craving for a good therapist,but as you know: it's not easy to find a "good" one .also a speech-therapy is not easy and short: you have to work on speech-processes thats are established since you are using your voice.it's a therapy, not a product. programs like this tend to trick deperate patients into a fast "solution" for a price,that suggests: "it's expensive,so it has to work" but this is no solution for stuttering/stammering. it's more like a way of masking (and not working on) the symptoms, not a cure.
