Yes absolutely agree. also people have anxiety about different things. Some people are anxious about stuttering, some people about looking like a fool, some people about being judged harshly, and some people about having a breakdown in communication etc. Having tools can help mitigate all those things. Its like if I'm going into a dark room at night, I'll be much more afraid, than if I have a torch, a gun, and a buddy etc. Thats kinda how tools are for me. Its still a bit scary, but at least there a good chance ill survive it, than not. and that's in turn helps me cope much better.
