No, Andrea, I think that the point of desensitization it, just as you say, to experience fear and to thereby gain control of it and overcome it. My worry is that this method can be misused by clinicians (and faculty members who have their students stutter on purpose). It obviously accomplished what your teacher intended in your case!
