I have looked at this post for several days and not known what to say because I don't want to sound glib about something so serious. I honestly have not looked at any of the responses, but I have read the original question a few times.
I think that facing our demons is a good thing, with reservations. If it's a stumbling block that you just can't overcome, maybe it's best to say that you can revisit the question later on with a clearer idea of what it is that's stopping you from moving on. But moving on should be the goal.
Realistically, the demons usually face us before we are ready to face them. I think that we need to do what we can to heal and feel good about ourselves, and until we are ready to say "that demon is wrong, and it just doesn't matter to me anymore" it's ok to say "I'm not ready to face it right now." But make no mistake, if the demon is stopping you from the basics, you've looked the demon in the eye, and you are losing the battle. (Not necessarily the war.)
Just MHO.
