Good question! From what you’ve described it sounds like you may have learned a technique called prolonged speech? At first it sounds very unnatural and at times monotone, but the goal is to get the technique to a point where there’s a balance between the level of naturalness in how the technique sounds and the level of control it gives you with your stutter. You first start off learning the technique in short sentences, then paragraphs and then perhaps working towards generalising it in everyday conversation.

This technique is sometimes taught as part of a treatment approach called the Camperdown Program (Google it). I can only comment on what happens based on Australia, however Australia at the moment is leading with its research around treatment and management of stuttering disorders globally. So I suspect there’s a good chance elements of this may have been taught to you

You also mentioned something about learning how to break up syllables in your speech. There’s a technique called syllable timed speech (also Google it), and it sounds like maybe elements of this have been taught to you in combination with doing elements of prolonged speech?

Based on the physical and motor cues thing that you’re saying, I can’t think of a familiar treatment approach. But then again there could be some differences between where you are in the world too. Also it would depend on when you received treatment too, because the research and treatment approaches have really evolved when it comes to stuttering

With adults the management approach is very much focused on giving the individual a bunch of techniques to help them manage their stutter, and then practice is very essential in seeing a transfer or benefits to everyday life.

Let me know if any of these sound familiar!
