I’ve been diagnosed with Muscle Tension Dysphonia / Spasmodic Dysphonia . I’ve had Speech and Language and recently a Botox injection. I am in a bad feedback loop to myself. My voice appears good, I’m good, I can speak away. My voice chokes/cracks in important circumstances like work, I am very self conscious, tension builds it gets far worse. My whole neck is a ball of tension at times. I am trying to learn to accept it, it’s something I can’t do anything about. That’s not easy when my voice is a train wreck at work. I was wondering if anybody had tips of things that helped a little , any alternative “medical” things like Reiki or deep tissue massage etc. I have found Qigong useful (Holden 30 day Qigong - zero affiliation, just releases tension but impact is short). I feel I’ve nothing to lose trying new things. It’s a pain but it’s 4 years so it not going to suddenly fix. The harder I try to worse it gets so maybe Homer Simpson is right - stop trying).

Just for anyone booking tickets for the Alcazar or Cathedral. The first website that pops up on Google is not the official website. It looks official but there are a few things. It asks to pay by Apple Pay or other instant pay type. This means you can’t reverse the payment when you realise it’s not the real website. Secondly the terms and conditions are no refunds. They are way overpriced and a lot of people complain they never get the tickets. www.realalcazarsevilla.comisthesite. It is really feelthecitytours . You can look up the reviews. They catch a lot of people. Pity nothing is done about it. They seem to have the same trick in other cities. If it can help some people avoid them then the post will be worth it.
