This definitely resonates with me, too. I journal almost daily and sometimes when I read back old journals, I can see I've been speaking about the same thing for literally months on end, drawing up the same solutions and problems and revisiting them. Bad repetition, as you call it, can end up creating a new reality for me and it feels like the "norm" and like something I've progressed on even though it clearly is just a loop. I very much agree with you that a really good therapist can help untangle those thoughts and maybe stop you from resisting whatever your subconscious wants to surface.

Allowing your heart to break again, becoming ashes, and then rising anew - this is what good therapy does for me.
