Blocking and filler words are the coping technique. The cope is avoiding stuttering which is what causes the struggle and trouble you experience now. The way you get back a block is to take baby steps towards making the sound your afraid to make. It has to begin in the easiest and safest situation in which you still block and you need to start with babysteps, otherwise it'll be like learning to ride a bike down a mountain.
