**TL;DR short summary**: Your brain wants to assume the worst, imagine the worst. During a sale for clients, sometimes it feels nearly impossible and it's like I'm skipping past it. **Intervention**: Once I experienced the worst of it. You have nothing to lose, you've made it this far, it only gets easier as the roller coaster progresses. The less I worried over each individual thing, the sooner I practically forgot about it. The more comfortable you are at knowing, the easier stuttering tends to be, the less you worry because you know the answer either way, stutter or no stutter. It wasn't a race for me, it was just a destination. Distract yourself, don't care, stop thinking about it. Give yourself that break. Lots of things have to come together for stuttering, break the chain somewhere and give yourself a break
