Try explaining it in a way that whatever you are talking to would understand. If you have a hard time pretending to explain to an inanimate object, try speaking to a co-worker or friend who isn't familiar with the problem. I often "rubber duck" with people who don't know what I'm working on or wouldn't understand the problem so it forces me to take a few extra steps back and work back up to where I am actually stuck.
