My tip would be not to think about it as difficult as it is and to think of what you want to convey, not any particular word, try to not think of the word in the moment and you'd be surprised when it just comes out but the stutter state remains so try not to think about it after the fact. Catch your breath because you may feel breathless from the anxiety that came about and try to move on without giving it much thought at all. It requires some real emotional conviction but over time it def. made it easier even though I still stutter. I do sales, I talk with who ever, the stutter comes about and I get over it and continue on and realized no one really cares and admires you for not caring. Even when I thought the sale didn't work out, worried I seemed nervous, etc, they'd call back complimenting me saying they want to go with us. It's never that worse case that are brain always likes to assume so don't give it the time of day. Don't take everything else for granted, give yourself that break, you deserve it.
