Eh I wouldn't phrase it this way. I always wanted to stop stuttering and I think that's obvious. But after trying speech therapy multiple as a kid without any results I just gave up. My mom and my therapist (psychotherapist) kept on encouraging me but I didn't want to. I didn't want to get disappointed once again because if it wouldn't work again, I'd totally lose hope. Preferred to have this tiny hope, was delusional and kept on thinking that maybe it's gonna disappear on its own (like my dad's stutter). But it didn't. Couple months ago a very sad situation related to my speech happened, someone made fun of me. I started thinking about how I hate my life with a stutter. I talked with my therapist once again and decided that I will give speech therapy another try once again. It's helping so far. What you said is an extreme oversimplification, and I'm sure it's not true for 80% of us who stutter. We WANT to stop stuttering. But any methods that claim to offer quick and easy relief sound just too good to be true.
