Writer's block can sometimes feel like actual physical confrontation.
It's a real obstacle in the way, something that cannot be avoided. Your options are:
a) Surrender. Just give up. You don't need to write any more anyway.
b) Flee. Drop it and run as far as you can as fast as you can. Start another project, hide, scroll social media for ages pretending it's research.
c). Fight. Get your ass back in there and do the work. Chances are you're gonna get clobbered. Go a few rounds, see if you've made any ground, try a new strategy if that approach doesn't work.
Usually I have to pep talk myself, amp up for the fight.
Throat punches usually work.
So get out there and throat punch your blockage, until it's beaten to submission.
Optimally, avoid assault charges.
