>Did you have a good experience with speech therapy Not until the last time. My first experience with speech therapy was in public school. It was not helpful. I went to a professional speech therapist in my teens. It helped some, but I didn't put in the work to be successful. I went back to the same speech therapist in my 20s. That was when I applied myself and achieved fluency. ​ >how did you find a way to implement the strategies and overcome a dysfluency? Short(ish) answer. The therapy I received wasn't about implementing strategies. It was more of a ground-up development of speaking fluently. The therapist I worked with didn't have me implement my fluency outside of therapy until I was achieving very high levels of success in the therapy setting. The following post has a pretty good description of my experiences and success. ***I make about eight comments in the thread, covering a lot of ground.*** Please don't hesitate to ask more questions. I am a huge advocate for speech therapy to help people with stutters. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/okaf40/does\_speech\_therapy\_work/
