Secondary motor reactions Hey everyone, I am 19 years old and in college. I have stuttered essentially since I could speak but in the recent past (3-4 years), my secondary motor reactions have gotten 10x worse. My most common reaction is my head will go up and to the left and I literally can not control it. It only happens when I stutter so I know it’s not anything like Tourette’s. I was wondering if anyone has had this type of motor reaction or has any way that they have found to manage it? Thanks in advance!
