Hi Paul, I acquired a knowledge about the physiology and psychology of stuttering at the same time that I learned the new breathing/speaking techniques; acquired an assortment of tools to overcome feared words; gained access to a support network 24/7; learned about assertiveness; and received encouragement to expand my comfort zones. They came as part of a much larger package that also advocated self-acceptance, and the use of voluntary stuttering as a means of desensitization. In isolation, they would have been far less effective. Thank you for your interest and generous comments. Kindest regards Alan
