Okay. I'm in therapy. I've achieved some of what I think are pretty major insights. Now I'm led to understand that after insights comes "working through." Kind of chasing down all the ramified, neuron-like connections between the area affected by an insight and all the other parts of my thinking and feeling.

Well and good. But I very much want to conduct this "working through" in as energetic and concentrated a fashion as I used to get the insights. No nonsense. Complete seriousness. How does one do "working through" in that manner?

For example. I've realized that dear old Mom was a complete turkey at raising babies. With truly horrible effects. From the beginning until now, this instant, I'm terrified when dealing with people. Not you, you're safely far away. I can't see your faces or hear your voices. And that's very comforting indeed. But I'd like to be able not to see the people I meet IRL as terribly dangerous. And I understand "working through" is the way to get there.

Any tips?
