I suspect the difficulty I have with my name which starts with M is comparable to the difficulty you have with yours…it’s all to do with developing a fear around uttering the very word we know we can never forget or substitute for another Similar to other advice around here, I have found saying my name out loud can be helpful Also, trying to relax before an event/occasion…slow, deep breathing can also help when I’m particularly on edge
