Stuttering is like the Chinese finger trap; pull too hard and you’ll get stuck, but pull calmly and you free your fingers from the trap. Try to relax your muscles and be patient. Patience is key here. Try to calmly say “Con” and then after the n say “trol” instead of forcefully saying CONTROL. When you try and force it out it sounds botched and you might find yourself in a block.
