Can someone offer any advice? I had a pretty severe stutter maybe 10 years ago while I was in elementary school. I then grew out of it as I got older but last year I recently noticed it was somewhat coming back. It’s now gotten pretty bad and after some research online I have identified what I have now to be classed as a ‘Block stutter’. I often find it really hard introducing myself to other people and the thought of saying my name overpowers me with so much anxiety, I often feel as if I cannot speak and my whole body just freezes. I feel like I’m not actually too bad with stuttering on other words apart from my name. However, I do frequently re use the same words after and after again as I cannot get anything else out. Does anybody have any advice on how my block stutter can go away? Please! Honestly anything! It’s making me feel terrible and stopping me from living my life, ordering coffees or anything that requires me to say my own name and just live everyday life. Please help!
