My inclination in general (reply immediately to any email/blog/tweet) and the fact that I have thoughts on every bell related thing in here (what you work on with your therapist is nothing I can comment on) mean that if I didn't have things I have to get done within a time frame this morning, I'd get to a real keyboard (not the iPad) and spend an hour on a reply that like most things I write would turn out to be All About Me. Let's have tea or ice cream or go for a walk sometime instead. BUT 1st short answer - yelling is not helpful except in tiny, very directed bits, and should be replaced by a clearly projected voice, not shout (using your example, a shouted "we're hunting on 5, not 6" could help). Very focused incremental praise is supposed to be pedagogically useful. As an aside, it turns out that I'm not the only ringer in the world who issues stickers. 2nd I am chagrined that the AGM questionnaire caused you anguish. I was touched by the number of people who clearly had put a lot of thought and maybe emotion into their answers. I could talk for ages just about how ringers answer that question, either verbally when being visitors or on forms.
