I have this problem too Jonas - with all Yoga and meditation. Something that really helped me shift this was the idea that the breath IS the healing, or in this case the om or bhrahmaree IS the healing. So there is no need for an end goal of fixing or doing these activities in order to heal as a result in the future - the practice is the healing itself, happening right now in this moment. This enabled me to feel like "wow, I'm healing! This is it, it's happening right now" ,as I breath or om etc.
I don't know if this would help you and others, but for me it brought me into the present moment with these practices.
I came across the idea that the breath is the healing itself in a Buddhist meditation from plum village, but I can't remember which one.
Some things take time and this may take time for you, but there are many things that we actually need guidance or insight on in order to shift. Lots of ideas from other people won't fit for us individually, but some do - and then something clicks. Or helps to slowly shift overtime. But I am definitely someone who needs some of those ideas to come from outside, at least to confirm and give me confidence in my own inner guidance.
I hope this helps a bit, but if not, keep practicing and trying different perspectives.
