Blocking is not a core disfluency behavior. It feels like it is but it's not. I have learned to not block but I still stutter. Nothing is locking your vocal folds other than you. You are doing it and you can learn to not do it. It feels involuntary but that's only because the urge to avoid stuttering at all cost is so strong.
