Slow your talking down Lower the pitch Control your breathing Don't force words out. Stop immediately when this happens Count to three in your head and then say the word. The count is an automatic distraction from the word or words. Another one that's helped me is not giving a shit about what people think, if they're in a hurry or see the stutter as a hinderance to them conversing. Very, very strong chance I'll stutter for the rest of my life why the hell would I care what strangers, who are never going to play a part in my life, think about me. Oh, and don't overthink what you're trying to say. Cheers
