I'm not sure it's the same exact thing but fairly similar by the sounds of it. I try and push through it. Taking slow and deep breaths used to help but not as much anymore, and prolonging the word can help a little too and speaking slowly. Usually, I know what words I'll stutter on and can try and prepare for it mentally but my stutter is pretty inconsistent and I can, and have stuttered on words and phrases I usually don't stutter on. When I do stutter bad, I have to just push through and hang my head in shame and embarrassment, but I don't have a choice. It does usually follow with some chest pain/discomfort too. All the calls are recorded and we get call checks too, about 8 or so a month. Plus, all the people on the floor with me, no one has mentioned it yet and I've been going strong for almost 4 months. I have to admit, I do feel like quiting at times as I feel I don't fit the job and get a little paranoid but I want to stay here for longer than 4 months too. I believe we'll both get through this, we just need to find and nail down good techniques. If you need some more clarity, I'll be happy to clarify and help you out!
