If I’m talking to someone who doesn’t know I stutter, when I start to block or think I’m gonna word switch, I’ll tell them that I stutter and they have to bear with me for a moment. I’ll confess sometimes I just word switch since it’s easier, but I’ve been trying to be better. My therapist use to call this “advertising” not sure if it’s called something different these days. I also generally practice easy onset and soft contact techniques.
