Listener question: how does healing happen?

Listener question: Since the courses I was in before a lot of awareness has taken place, sometimes I have something constantly lit up; an example would be:  wanting recognition, needing to be noticed.

I have been listening to some podcasts that Tim Downs posted about clean questioning plus the additional one about impeccable words.

My question is how will the healing unfold? 

I can clearly see how the 'recognigion' programing can be totally in awareness and therefore the rug is initially pulled, as it were. It's lit up there is nowhere to hide.  But if we have the same old habit repeating, albeit with a lot less charge.. Why years later are we still experiencing the same?
