I know someone who went through an abusive childhood and suffers from complex ptsd. They recently started anti anxiety medication and that has helped temper their fawn/freeze fear response, but it they still live with it.
The biggest surprise for them was that everyone else wasn't plagued with the same constant fear and anxiety, always trying to placate everyone to avoid confrontation.
I've never paid mind to it, but I think I pronounce it like you do. If I focus on not hitting the sh sound it sounds English, my normal accent is West-coast American.
Straw, strength, strip, all of those words I place a blending sh sound before the tr sound. If anything it might sound closest to 'schrawberry'.

I've been on a bean kick since I found bags of 15 bean soup mix for less than $3. The creamy large Lima beans are my fave. I toss the ham flavor in the trash and make a batch with whatever I have on hand. The following batch was my favorite so far:
20 oz 15 bean soup - soaked overnight
Two small white onions - diced and browned with a pinch of salt and sesame oil
Eighth red cabbage chopped and browned in a skillet
6oz white button mushrooms coarsely diced and browned
1/4 cup textured veggie protein
1 heaping tbsp chili powder
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic
1 tsp salt
2 tsp potassium salt
1 tbsp MSG
Half tsp cracked black pepper
Half tsp garlic powder
Half tsp paprika
The biggest thing to remember is to make sure that you get the rehydrated beans in a good boil for at least 10 minutes to denature the toxic proteins, otherwise you'll have an upset stomach.
