There's a graphical notation you can get from string diagrams for a "reflexive object" (an inscrutable reference that will help if you know how to deal with 2-categories graphically already: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/reflexive+object)

The main difference is that instead of a lambda abstraction box, you make the input branch off the output. That is, you have lambda nodes with two outputs and one input. One output is the lambda expression, one output is the expression's argument, and the input is the value of the evaluated function.

I've been wanting to understand non-standard diagrams -- might they be continuations or some other kind of computation?
