Alittle late to the party. I have a stutter but it’s more like a block my brain does when I think of the word in my head. I psyche myself out and stutter just that word. Afterwards I’m able to complete whole sentences. It only happens when I’m stressed about something.  I worked 10+ years as a customer service rep, took speech class in college (was required to speak in front of class a lot ). Somehow I was able to hide it all those years. Now, I’m going through a separation. And it’s come back full force 😭I have done a couple of interviews for a new job, and so far they’ve went okay.  I will try the steps you’ve suggested. Hopefully we all can overcome this speech impediment 😞
