**TL;DR short summary**: Your brain wants to assume the worst, imagine the worst. During a sale for clients, sometimes it feels nearly impossible and it's like I'm skipping past it. **Intervention**: ...

>You said: *"Surprising how the word "stress" triggers it even when I don't stutter on it. I feel the trigger that I might and I think more than half the time I still do but interestingly enough, ther...
