Hi Dave, it sounds like you’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s a subtle thing but remember walking the dog? You can walk the dog to the lamppost, but the dog decides if its going to pee or not, not you the dog owner. In other words, your subconscious decides, not your conscious self. Do you remember the advice to “stop caring whether you go or not”? Accept that it may or may not happen, and the pressure of expectation disappears.
Progress overall is upwards, but in the short term can fluctuate. Can you ride it out patiently? Would stepping back one pace to fake it a couple of times till you feel comfortable again help?
Best, Andrew
