Max,
Those are all great points--and they are stages that I, too,
encountered.. I just went a bit of a different way than you did--as
we are all unique! About 12 months into it, I realized that we could
be fluent w/ technique but that we really sort of were just closet
stutterers then--supressing it--and I overcame that, in part, through
a technique called "Education and Demonstration"---beyond the scope
of this email-- subsequent NLP, reframing, EFT, and hypnosis helped
further.. by the end of year #2-- I knew that I wasn't hiding nor
supressing ANYTHING-- so yes, I evolved past that--but am fully aware
that some technique users get stuck there.
re: emotion etc.-- In the beginning, when technique required
concentration that was [an unwarranted] concern that most early users
have.. as you can see in the video-- I certainly wasn't supressing
any emotions, hehe--and that video was made 18 months into it--I am
now over 3 years into it...
In fact, if you would like to see my CURRENT up to date speaking--
here is a "live in concert" video from THIS WEEK-- where I was hired
to speak at a "celebration of hope" event..
Although technique was "used"-- I assure you that neither technique
nor blocking nor hiding--nor anything of the sort was on my mind at
any time:

**THIS video-- is even more "definitive" of what we can all become--
I believe--than the older one I've posted b4
