I "distract" myself, work on other issues (I'm not a one-issue woman :-) and find that when I work on other things, making headway on them makes headway on the ones I'm not currently working on! So, I switch-hit when I get stumped in one area, pick up my knitting in another. Doing something well takes time and sometimes staring at the job full-time gets frustrating/boring so rotate what you work on, food/eating for awhile, some health concern for awhile, school/work for awhile, relationships for awhile, etc. I think having a treatment team would be pretty good as it would be a built in "multiple"-pronged approach.
