Hi and welcome to HCM

You'll just have to concentrate in the mirror putting your tongue in the proper place until it is the habit! Don't be afraid of therapy.
Instruction time is really only to show you how to CORRECTLY practice on your own. Incorrect practice only reinforces negative habits. As for how long to fix, that depends on the person.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
