So I'm... going to need to learn what those look like
Yeah, this. As to where to find them, somewhere under the screamingly crazy, which might not seem much help (as well as being bloody obvious), but you're better at deciphering screamingly crazy than anyone I've come across.
part of why I'm scared that the only way to "recover" is to unlearn warning signs
My instinct is that needs restructuring so that your warning signs are just as useful, but less disabling, rather than discarding them like things never happened, which would be building progress on a lie, and therefore, to my mind, fundamentally flawed. (And obviously you need to take that up a level of meta so that you're perceiving the change itself as less stressful and more constructively useful).
and that's a gorgeous piece by JJ, which for some bizarre reason reminds me of the Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, which it's almost the antithesis of.
