You've got to give srt working abit of time because if you've been ddrt for years all your muscle memory is gear up for that style , I've climbed ddrt since 97 then switched to srt nearly two years ago & hardly ever climb double now & when I do the rope tending gets on my nerves !! Try to climb the tree more like free climbing & when there's gaps climb the rope .. Think re-directs to gain great work positions you will see the light 🌈.

I have noticed a similar thing when occasionally climbing on a Prussik after a year of climbing on a zig zag. I get all muddled up for the first five minites
