Sit down in a relaxed position and set your arm on the arm of the chair in a relaxed position.

Completely relax your arm.

With everything COMPLETELY relaxed, practice moving your trigger finger while KEEPING everything else completely relaxed. In the beginning, you may find that you can only twitch it very slightly without having the rest of your fingers move. With practice you should be able to get it to move through a long enough arc of movement to be sufficient for a trigger pull.

Now you've proved to yourself that you CAN move your finger without flexing any other muscles.

Also, in your dryfire practice, don't focus on the trigger going "click"--instead focus on smoothly applying increasing pressure to the trigger without thinking about when it's going to "click". Forget that the object is the click and concentrate on being smooth and holding the gun steady. Leaving the safety on is a good way to practice this at first.

You might be able to help yourself with some DA revolver shooting. Don't try to "stage" the trigger, instead concentrate on a smooth, one motion pull, that takes the trigger at constant speed through its entire arc and fires the gun.
