I had to call for an appeal at my job on the 7th and i spoke alot better than i thought i would. For one, if the not speaking for 10 seconds is a block learn to stop and reset. Dont push through it. My stutter is mainly on the beginning/start up so i freeze up alot, on the initial "Hello", then the next starter. Its a habit thats hard to break because i only just recently learned more about my stutter at a speech therapist, but im more aware of it now. Everyones stutter is different in some way. \- Cutting the block and resetting, dont push through it \- Breathing, talking at the peak or talking on the exhale \- Relax, the stutter is already annoying af to us dont be tense on top of that
