This is great advice, thank you. When I block, all I can think of is the word / sound I'm stuck on - I try to hit it faster, like an obstacle to jump over and that just makes it worse. Tomorrow (it's 23:30 here), I'm going to make a conscious effort to focus on the *next* part of the word. I'm going to try and be more open about and towards my stutter, as I think this is where I struggle the most. Once I'm more comfortable with it as a part of me, hopefully I'll be able to start to expand my comfort zone. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
