Interesting. Both me and my former speech therapist had a strong feeling that if we could somehow forget that we stuttered, the stuttering would stop. That is not to say it is a matter of technique, just that if the anxiety didn't arise, we both had seemed to learn enough to speak fluently when we lowered the background emotional noise.
