I believe all things are connected in a way and if you are over in this corner working on this problem for a bit/session, what you learn will transfer to the other corner and another problem. At first, when it seems there are so many different areas and problems it is hard to imagine that any will get solved/go away but over time they do get smaller or gather themselves together and relate better to one another so you can see there are actually fewer problems.

Our brains/psyches/unconscious know how to help heal us and giving them their head so they can discuss what they choose is a good tactic; it's like studying dreams or other unconscious phenomenon to see what they tell us. Learning to trust our minds and bodies to show how to heal us instead of letting our intellect get in there and boss things around like it knows what it's doing :-) worked well for me.
