Has anyone successfully stopped blocking on their name? Just curious if and how this has been done in the past. My name starts with a D so easy onset doesnt really apply - I’ve been struggling with this for 15 yrs and no amount of speech therapy has helped. I always have a severe 10 second block when introducing myself unless Im on the phone (minor block) or I’m completely caught off guard.
