To build on this, grab the phone book (I am dating myself here 🙂) and call a store and ask for their hours or if they carry a certain product. This is great exposure therapy in a sense. To me, phone calls produce the most anxiety, which makes my stutter worse. I often disclose I have a stutter while on the phone to lessen the chances of undesirable results like them hanging up on me because the line went dead or asking to repeat myself because they’ve lost focus on the conversation, etc.
