The images I can think of to share have to do with the metaphor of a wound. You want to do your best to clean it out, maybe put some alcohol on it so that it doesn't get infected (ow!), put a bandage on it, and then do your best not to pick at it. Maybe some anestic as well. What those actually map to I dunno (I've done mental visualization aroudn them sometimes), but I could imagine the various forms of painful music/musing as being the alcohol, cuddling with other people as being the anesthetic, and distraction (computer games, reading, excercise, etc.) as being the not poking at it.
