Anyone know how to maneuver around a block? I have a mild to moderate stutter. Some days I am fluent, other days I get frequent blocks. When I get a block, I can’t get the words out of my mouth, and I resort to pushing the words out and using a lot of force to articulate those words. Sometimes this fails and I just end up not saying the words I want to say. How do I overcome this? I am not looking for a fluency, I just want a mechanism/technique to get the words out when I get a block. I have tried pausing and breathing, but this doesn’t work for the difficult words. I appreciate any help provided.
