Great question. I'd chase "what do I believe about a person hearing me stutter on my job title?" Is there any mind reading (i.e., "they'll wonder how I can do that with a stutter). If we feel self-conscious about using a technique, we have "split intentions": a voice says 'use it to ease out the word' and another voice says 'they'll notice the difference in the way you say it." If you feel anticipatory anxiety when saying your title, we know you have negative cognitions that need resolution.
