Hi Mario. I think Ken gave a great answer. My only two cents (or perhaps even less) to add is that "overcoming" stuttering really does depend on what we're defining as the primary problem. The concept of "stuttering" is really a global issue with many variables. (And some of these variables are a bit insidious and counter-intuitive.) Point being... Success in stuttering treatment is only relative to your stated (realistic) objective. I want to feel no shame re: stuttering. I want to feel no fear re: stuttering in public. I want to stutter less. I do not want to feel limited by stuttering. We've yet to break the back of stuttering (clinically), but we can break each micro-objective one at a time. And then many over time. Ultimately, to me, that's when "overcoming" the stuttering phenomenon begins to occur.
