Can I ask a personal question? Previously, whenever I was feeling stuck or unable to articulate \[out of control feeling\], this out of control experience consisted of: * stuttering anticipation * anticipation of negative reactions * nervous feeling in my belly * anticipatory thoughts or body sensations * thinking patterns that integrate "stuttering" in my self-concept By dissociating above triggers from inhibition of executing motor movements, it led to voluntary motor control during anticipated/feared words. So, right now, if I would experience above triggers, then it doesn't lead to speech blocks (aka inhibition of executing motor movements), anymore. Now, I still experience an out of control feeling, which only consists of: * unbearable neck pain I subconsciously instruct execution of this neck pain (which is evoked by the peripheral sympathetic nervous system). If I relax or untense my neck (or other) muscles, it increases my neck pain. I inhibit execution of speech movements to reduce this neck pain. So, in my current stutter phase, it would seem that I only "block" in order to reduce this neck pain. I don't experience any neck pain at all, if I don't speak, because this neck pain only occurs whenever I instruct execution of speech movements \[intention-forming or decision-making\]. I draw the conclusion that, during my stuttering development when I was a child, I associated "*evoking neck pain*" with "*experiencing being out of control: being stuck or unable to articulate*". Question 1: Do you have tips to address this neck pain? Question 2: What is a complete list of interventions, to dissociate **neck pain** from **instructing execution of speech movements**? Question 3: What research studies investigate such neck pain leading to "speech blocks"? I couldn't find any research about it, at all.
