Why You Can’t Speak Your Truth: 7 Throat Chakra Blocks
In this post, I’m going to overview 7 throat chakra blocks stopping you from speaking your truth. In my experience working with clients in 1:1 energy clearing sessions (book a package of sessions with me here or check out my testimonials) I’ve worked with countless women on clearing the blocks that are holding them back from manifesting, creating their dreams, putting themselves out there, gaining visibility, and more.
The truth is, the throat chakra is a powerful centre for manifestation.
When we use our words, we shape our lives. Words hold power. It’s very powerful to put energy out into the world with our voices, and the throat chakra is the part of your body where this energy is expressed.
Fear of being in your power
It’s very common, that for first-generation immigrants (or the children of them), our grandparents who arrived to Canada, the USA, or their new country, were in a disempowered position when they arrived. They sometimes experienced situations or circumstances where they couldn’t speak up for themselves, or had to work extra hard to gain traction in their new life. As a result, this can create a pattern of fear around being in our power, as we often times hold the energy from our ancestors (even if they’re still alive).
Past life vows & promises
This is SUPPPPER common.
In a past life, if you took any sort of vow – or made a big promise, those decisions can get locked in your energy field.
The result? Being locked in a decision you made…eons ago. Sometimes, literally.
Having to “swallow your words”
If you’ve been in friendships, situations, or relationships where you had to swallow down your truth for the other person, sacrificing your own integrity to maintain a balance or neutrality in that relationship. You might instinctively swallow down your words, keep your truth to yourself, or bite down what you really want to say – and hold that energy inside of you.
Fear of being seen and heard
If you have a fear of being seen, or being heard, that’s one of the ways you might experience a throat chakra blocks.
Fear of speaking your truth in childhood

Dimming your truth to protect others
If you had to dim your truth, or keep things private or secret to protect family members, a fear of your truth might be blocking your throat chakra. Any repressed energy in your throat can create a block that can prevent you from moving forward.
Old trauma triggers your throat closing up or shutting down
Ever had a situation come up in a group of friends, or at work, and your throat just closed up instinctively or shut down? Something inside of you was trying to protect you. But what happens when that instinct for protection shows up when we really want to be fully in our light, fully heard and seen?
