"A characteristic quality of voluntary tic inhibition is the specificity of the inhibition. Only the target tic behavior is suppressed. Other movements, such as voluntary actions, can be performed simultaneously. This differs from the inhibition of other hyperkinesias, where patients usually non-selectively suppress their global motor output or impose external constraints to reduce intensity of involuntary movements." (Ganos et al, 2018) I found voluntary tic inhibition an interesting avenue to explore. For stuttering, we could say it's non-selective suppression of global motor output. Tic disorders are accompanied by premonitory urges (though not always), which seem to bear some resemblance to the anticipation effect in stuttering. Now, I previously stated I focus on alleviating any arising tension in the neck area created by utterances already made. Three main systems are involved in the production of speech: respiratory, laryngeal, supra-laryngeal. It may be that what's happening in my case is the targeting of disinhibition in the laryngeal system leads to suppression of target behavior, playing on the specificity of inhibition mentioned above. From there on, I can simultaneously speak fluently, i.e. perform voluntary actions; so global motor output remains unaffected.
