I had a drastic improvement with my stutter during my last job. I was 24. It was a desk job, mostly using my brain rather than my mouth, but there were daily Zoom meetings in which I had to verbally contribute. Everyone went round and said what they were working on. There were about 8 of us on the call. Contributions didn't have to be longer than even 30 seconds. However, knowing I only had to say a 'small thing' made my anxiety (and so my stuttering) worse, because I'd be stammering on a word in almost every phrase, and I felt like I was 'wasting' their time. So, instead of a one-minute update, I'd end up taking up three minutes (the calls were usually 10-15 minutes long). I experienced the anxiety over and over. Hot flushes, sweat breaking out, heart thumping hard in my chest, memories of stammering flashing impulsively in my mind later (after calls, sometimes days after). I went through this every day for months and months. The thought that perpetuated it all, in hindsight I think, was that I was "bothering" my colleagues on the calls and they were judging me when I stammered as irritating or incompetent, etc. I was just waiting for someone to make a comment, week after week, tensed and dreading the moment they would sneer or crack a joke... Then something life-changing happened: *no one ever did*. Not one of my colleagues said a single thing about it. I had genuinely respectful colleagues. Maybe they did say things behind my back, but if they did they had the decency to never do it to my face. As a result of this prolonged exposure to stammering like this for several months and getting zero negative criticism on my stammer, I finally had what I needed to not care anymore. It wasn't like flipping a switch. But it was a big shift that gradually evened out, leaving me feeling a lot more capable to express what I wanted to express on calls, and not feel terrible if I ended up stammering and taking up more time (than I would if I wasn't stammering). Overall: Experience (and exposure) is essential. Environment matters. The *people* around you have a part to play, especially if a big trigger for your stammer is social anxiety. I wish there was a way to get to this realisation of not caring without going through pain, but I haven't discovered it. I hope this helps, for what it's worth. Best of luck.
