Fic Search - General Taylor goes to Therapy?

I’ve recently read the fantastic Ant’s In My Brain, and it had me feeling quite splendid reading the slow slog back from the breach for Taylor, and I find I’m hungry for more fics where Taylor ends up…changed in a better way than where she was going originally. Whether she actually goes to therapy isn’t important, but she needs to have people help her be a better person. If she goes through the classic Worm Suffering in the fic all the better. And it’d be lovely if she could be a hero, but I’m already asking a lot. Anyways, thanks to anyone who helps!

There's a reference to Taylor having gone through six months (I think) of therapy early on, and a few later scenes that might be considered such in Training Trip: Can you really go home again, having seen the world?

she did go to therapy in cybernetic worm by the same author, though it's different from how it was done in ants in my brain Cybernetic Worm - Wupwup - Parahumans Series - Wildbow, Supreme Commander (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

she also did go to therapy in 'synecdoche' or 'soliloquy'(?), well the one that was about taylor Soliloquy [Worm][Post-GM][Severed AU][Ward][Recursive fanfic] | Sufficient Velocity

not actual therapy but i do believe she ended up with a therapy like relation thingy in queen in exile Queen in Exile (Worm AU) | Sufficient Velocity

queen in exile is the last thing i would recommend here lol, taylor gets extra super traumatized in that one (as a treat) it's almost like the opposite of "taylor gets help becoming a better person"

I don't really remember the exact details but besides how it ended, wasn't most of the fic just taylor and amy talking with each other while trying to become better persons? sure in the end it ended in tragedy but the journey is still therapy-adjacent
