Healing and emotions: listener question

I know that a lot of suffering is caused by the future imaginations of the mind.  If I understood properly, you suggested that not avoiding things and meeting reality with whatever shows up will reveal and heal.  What if this doesn't seem to be happening.  I don't avoid things as it's work related so it seems that I can't, and I keep having the same experience.  The revealing part is showing up, but I don't think any healing is happening.   I have a suspicion that you might say something about resistance, but how does one go into the body and meet the emotions in that moment when there's a job to be done. When I focus on my own sensations in this situation, they seem to get worse, which is really the last thing that's needed at that moment.
