You can try repetition. Once I accepted my stutter, I simply wanted a go to in order to preserve energy while not fearing the stutter itself. So the idea remains the same but it is just a change in how I stuttered, or what happened during a block, rather than feeling a need to avoid the word or situation. Rather than feeling locked out and in wait, I casually repeated the word, or the word before the actual word I'd block on, and this helped lessen the tension I'd otherwise build during a block/lock out situation because I would no longer feel like I'm pushing into nothingness, I'm just trying again knowing that like the block, it may let go and allow me to continue on momentarily. During situations that felt more tense in time pressure, I'd sometimes add an extra breath out to try to forgo the lock out as I try to say it with the extra breath keeping the vocal area open in the moment. Whether it works or not, requires a few attempts or plenty, the over arching idea of accepting the stutter remains the same and not dwelling or worrying over it because it's nothing new and what ever happens it's not our first rodeo. It's just another way of stuttering in the moment having a little control in what the response is to the block rather than feeling like we must wait in a locked out push state losing our energy as the issue feels like it fights against us. The less we dwell on it, even in the moment, especially after the fact (there's no need to think about it and get in our own heads over it, it's not our first time and it doesn't have to feel like it is every single time) the easier it is and the easier we can focus on what really matters in life and not let life go by and take everything else for granted.
