I do not believe in strategies or techniques to help reduce stuttering. I am a speech pathologist and a life long stutterer. I was too ashamed to stutter on purpose to help desensitize my speech. I needed to find the answer to my stuttering. After years of researching how the brain learns I discovered that my brain is wired differently than a fluent speaker. I discovered that the fluent speaker is able to voluntarily control their Valsalva response which I found to be the root cause of my stuttering. When I gained voluntary control I was able to transform my brain into a fluent speaker. I hand never had a relapse because I actually rewired my brain.
