Apparently, there is debate over whether blocking is primary stuttering or a secondary behavior. But if it's the latter, then blocking is stuttering that you do when you don't want to stutter. That is to say that you (I also daily) will force on a possible or ongoing stuttering to avoid stuttering, which will cause excessive tension and therefore a blockage
