I think I have had "breakthroughs" but no single one that fulfills that wish that such a breakthrough would resolve all the feelings. I just think it doesn't work that way or if it does, it is rare. I think the psychological component, like in unresolved grief, for example, is just part of the picture. Our brains go through changes when we experience trauma, and those changes take on a life of their own. And that is in addition to whatever biological predispositions we come into the world with, for depression, anxiety, or whatever.

So, to expect that a breakthrough in insight and understanding one's psychological history and its impact , to alone change our current emotional functioning might be unrealistic. We may need to look to other strategies, either strategies for coping more effectively, or medications, etc., to help address the problems we now have.
