Many times we may set ourselves up by attempting solutions which can make the problem worse without realizing it, especially when we turn our energies against ourselves. I suggest looking into Neuro-Semantic's take on the situation, I have observed and confirmed that their take on it is the case as well as effective in helping to reframe our thinking about the ordeal so it is working for us instead of against us. Here are a few free resources from masterstuttering.com, ran by Bob Bodenhamer. I read his and Michael Hall's previous book "Mastering Blocking and Stuttering: A Cognitive Approach to Achieving Fluency".
