How to Overcome a Mental Block/Wall in Meditation?

[Glaucus]

So for over a week now, the scope of my meditation has naturally drifted over to observing the attachment issues that I have. For the first couple of days, I felt like I was observing this part of my mind pretty productively and that I was beginning to understand the mechanisms of this issue and its underlying reasons. But then one day--it's kinda difficult to describe exactly what happened, I'm not the most certain how it went down--I felt these feelings really grab a hold of my body and thoroughly tense up my muscles. I observed this too and it passed within minutes, but then I found myself unable to return to where I had left off observing the attachment issues. It was like there was the wall my ego was putting up that my awareness kept bumping into, unable to pass through it. And it has remained like this for the past four or five days now. My meditation is naturally taking me towards my attachment issues, but pretty immediately from the onset of the session, I become stuck at this wall. I focus my attention on the blockage, but I feel as though I have made no progress in getting through it. It frustrates me and I am beginning to worry I am not being effective with my meditation. It seems pretty obvious to me that the answer is "Keep meditating" but I want to know if anybody here has experienced anything similar and/or has any advice. Should I keep sitting before this mental wall and continue focusing my attention on it, or should I manually set a different intention when I meditate and come back to this later? Thank you for your help.

Recycle the reaction, meditate on the wall.
