One syllable words like that has always been easy for me. However I use to stutter saying sprite my favorite soda 😂. I think what helped me overcome that word is just saying it slowly and more importantly not put myself through the anticipation of saying the word which always spiked my anxiety. I think the biggest factor for me that makes me stutter is my emotional state. If I can stay calm and use the speech tools I was taught I often can over come a lot. Obviously that’s easier said than done but it is possible. Eventually you’ll be more successful saying the word and then the anxiety that comes with it every time will dissipate.
