Good stuff, thanks. I really identified with the Speech Judge part. I am constantly searching in others' body language, expressions, etc for information on how they view my speech. Unhelpfully, approval is to be expected. However, when I perceive disapproval, it is devastating. So only the "bad" experiences become ingrained in my memory. I am working on this in the form of a journal that highlights key moments of fluent speech experiences, and I never write about the bad experiences.
