Insight is wonderful, but it doesn't shortcut the time necessary emotionally for processing. I would be very surprised if there's anyone on this forum who has been able to turn 180 degrees simply on the basis of another person's insight. Some may appear to, but that's usually no more than the acting out of a defense. Everyone processes differently: some do art, some act out, some jump into another therapy, some write. I don't think reaching out to others in any safe way deserves criticism.
