I suppose it is within the realms of possibility. The mind is a powerful entity with 3 distinct levels, only 1 of which we are aware of; the conscious mind. The unconscious and subconscious seem to act independently with the subconscious being the more powerful and unknown region of the 2. It is thought that many of our emotional coping mechanisms may have their origins in the subconscious which filters through to the unconscious where it is stored. It then manifests into conscious behaviour patterns which get acted out when certain emotional triggers are encountered, or as physiological symptoms in the body, which may manifest at times when the individual is emotionally overwhelmed. It may be that the subconscious of each individual "tailors or custom makes" a person's own unique coping mechanisms based on that persons unique weaknesses, insecurities and fears.
Laryngitis as a psychosomatic condition may be the mind's attempt to avoid toxic
interactions that the person cannot otherwise deal with, by "shutting down", the primary means of human communication; speech. Communication is interaction. Refusing to respond to an unwanted interaction is very different from not being "able to " respond. Refusing to respond usually illicits anger, making the interaction more toxic. However, not being "able to" respond by losing the ability to speak through no fault of their own allows the individual to avoid confrontations they cannot deal with, without incurring blame. This type of physiological response to intense emotional confrontation may manifest in individuals who cannot handle confrontation, are very meek or timid, and fear backlash from people they feel dependent on.
So yes, I think psychosomatic laryngitis is possible in this context.
