I wouldn't overthink it, the gist of exposure therapy is just getting into more speaking situations and not caring too much how your stuttering sounds. You want to find or create speaking situations that are "low threat" and practice staying in he moment while speaking. Let the stuttering happen and focus on what you're trying to say. It's not easy but over a lot of practice you train your body that the flight or flight response isn't necessary for speaking situations. A couple tips: 1. My SLP would have me call random stores and have me ask them about inventory, hours they are open, etc to make up a speaking situation with a stranger that doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things. I could stutter as long as I want and there was no negative consequences. 2. Some people who stutter like voluntary stuttering, I find it situational. If you haven't heard of it, you essentially "fake stuttering" in a conversation in addition to your natural stuttering. I found this helped in those manufactured situations as I could "stutter" in a conversation while remaining much more mindful than if I was blocking and fighting it. I would say that voluntary stuttering can be helpful for this kind of training but I'm personally not comfortable doing it in everyday life. 3. Some body awareness or mindfullness techniques can be helpful to reduce your body's tendency to enter flight, fight or freeze mode. I've found that following a [guide](https://youtu.be/BlWo7sqWLNk?si=WaqHWZ6KTFwV0fG-) before doing speech practice helps me understand what my body is doing when I'm stuttering, particularly if I start feeling signs of F/F/F with elevated heartbeat, narrowing vision, etc.
