Hi, I'm an SLP in training who stutters. Easy on-set: Instead of forcing thru a sound (e.g., "FFFFFamily") with muscles tensed, gently say the sound while relaxing the muscles (e.g., "fffamily"). There are pros and cons to this. Pull-outs: When experiencing a block (e.g., "Sometimes I b-b-b-b-b..."), try dropping the sentence altogether, taking a small breath, and trying again (e.g. \*small breath in and out\* "Ahem, sometimes I block."). This one has worked for me a little more than easy on-set.
