You might just be one voice, but I'm sure there are many others who will see the piece the same way that you do, and I want to make it available to all audiences. When I get a chance, I will take a fine-toothed come to it and see how I feel about it. I think what might be the problem is that people are saying, "Just have confidence." Which, now that you pointed it out, confidence seems obvious and doesn't actually help the root of the problem, the mechanisms creating the blocks and repetitions in speech. Maybe I should write a piece on analyzing confidence and how I began to feel confident as opposed to just saying, be confident. Does that make sense?
