No, it's not a cure. It never said it was. I think you've completely misunderstood this course. This is by no means a quick fix. It'll take years of hard work to really get it all down. However, you'll notice an increase of control just after the 4 days, I've just been there myself. Personally, I think speech-therapy is rather BS. They try to focus too much on why and not enough on "how are we gonna work on this" I've been stuttering since I was 3. It's by no means a trick, nor is it fast. What this course looks down upon is *using* tricks, we don't want you to avoid and go back to your old habits because that means you're holding back, and if you're holding back you start to panic and if you start to panic. Well, you're back to sqaure one. You're jumping to a whole lot of conclusions based on nothing.
