You don't need to force speech. That is actually what causes stuttering, the tension in your vocal muscles. What works is a proper mindset, facing feared speaking situations with courage, reducing avoidance behaviors, and a constant vigilance to not fall back into old negative patterns. Everyti6me I feel fear about a speaking situation I know I have to confront it.
