Yeah no problem. Basically there are physical (costal breathing amongst a few others) and psychological techniques. These techniques only become solid through practice, so essentially it’s just continual daily practice of what you learned. You will be given your own “coach” after the course. This is a person you will be able to contact any time and who will also contact you fairly regularly to help you along. Honestly though you’re better off not knowing too much before you go. The psychological premise behind McGuire is facing your fears, so there are a lot of activities involved in that, you can probably use your imagination. It will be daunting but everyone there is always so supportive. The great thing about it is the results you get from McGuire (post course) can be directly proportional to the amount of time you spend and effort you give it. That gives such a sense of control, especially for stuttering which sometimes feels completely uncontrollable. Happy to answer any other questions!
