This is great! My sense is that the push reflex is easily triggered if too much pressure/too tight a closure is used for consonants. I work a lot with voiced fricatives, particularly at the top, to discover what has to be let go of (space between back teeth) so that there isn’t a feeling of tightness, maintaining this sense within the body for the invoiced version. I absolutely agree with how you’re explaining this. Thank you.
I’m also a Feldenkrais practitioner and have given several workshops from this perspective, working with different ways of stopping the breath and exploring babbling with plosives too.

Thank you and excellent approach! I work with people in exactly the same way and I’m surprised it isn’t more commonly done.

Well this makes complete sense
