Hi. It seems like you're on the right track. My first instinct would be to start volitional stuttering as well. Create as pure, effortless and avoidance-free a stutter as possible (i.e., creating good habits) and let the secondaries fade away. If this isn't happening naturally, I would try two things: (1) Cancellations. Increase awareness of the secondaries, and then cancel them out when presented. (Remember that cancellations can be used in terms of primary stuttering, but also secondary or avoidance-behaviors as well.) (2) I would begin to target one secondary at a time. (And I would target them from easiest to hardest, to give the client a taste for success.) Hope this helps,
