Hi Babayada,
Thenks for your reply. I agree with you that over-intellectualizing does not really help, but it is nice to have a roadmap to understand what one could be going through, and one's progress.
With a hint of what could be happening, one could for example, say, 'I am definitely progressing, though it is not the way I expected; maybe it is time to release these feelings which are only temporary, after which I will surely get back on track'...
