I have the throat block too. It’s so annoying when you’re trying to say something and it won’t come out right? For me it makes me want to speak faster so I get out my information before that happens, but I have to stop myself and realize that’s not gonna help the listener. When that happens, pause, take a breath, and say what you have to say. Whoever’s listening will take the time to hear you, so don’t worry about that.
