I practiced pronouncing my name every day (10 to 20x) for 6 months. At the end, it became rote and boring, no more anxiety and fear. Also, use a bumper word, "Hi" "Hello" because for us we have to w...

That name block thing is really common with stuttering, especially when there's no backup word you can substitute. One thing people miss is that working with a therapist who gets the psychological sid...
