Good topic! It seems to me that some of the ideas that have been discussed under the "voluntary stuttering" thread would be a good way to help a person who frequently uses word substitution, circumlocution, etc., to cope with the expectation of disfluency. In such cases, it seems critical to help the person increase his or her comfort level with having repetitions, prolongations, blocks, etc., "leak out" into the open for all to see. Voluntary stuttering and, as others have called it "playing with stuttering" are a step in this direction.
