opening poster, if you are ashenazi, try this trick. Daven with sfardim where the shatz doesn’t stop chattering. Learn to concentrate in that environment, and then go back to your regular minyan. Or, when you get to a specific part of the tefilah that pulls your emotion, close your eyes and say it with a silent mental scream. When you master this, apply that closeness to other parts of the tefilah one by one. Warning: you may end up with the same “problem” as sb2.
