Impulsivity

Impulsivity As someone whose gone through loads of speech therapy, I feel that my impulsivity has suffered - I now often think about what I'm going to say and also how I'm going to say it. This gets really tiring and I usually start withdrawing. I've just realized now that a lot of my mental hang ups aren't even as much about my speech as they are about the lack of impulsivity... the natural element. Anyone have any tricks on how to restore that or reframe the problem? Even when my speech is fluent it feels very planned and dry. Tips? Thoughts?
