Charlton, What I think is helpful is moving forward. That said, going backwards (stopping and restarting for example) would be counter productive. Holding on to the sound may be an indication that there is fear of moving forward to the vowel (in most cases) because that would trigger more struggled stuttering, so many hold on until the fear dies down and they can move forward. I think it's best to move into the feared sound (make the transition to the vowel) and face the fear. In essence, reduce the avoidance there too. Hope that helps!
