Now what?

[Adam Coloretti (coach)]

you can kind of decide that youre just not gonna let symptoms bother you anymore, but it doesnt work like that.

Symptoms will always be bothersome to an extent - but you're right in that this is more of a natural process through the work. As I said, ripping the band-aid off can work later in the process once you've severely (almost completely) crushed any doubt around there being something structurally wrong (bothersome because of fear around a structural issue is the most threatening thing survival wise, bothersome because pain/symptoms suck will always be there but it doesn't compare). Trust the process as Alan Gordon says

Pressure --> Judgement --> Repression --> Symptoms. Always.

Or, remembering an old quote from when I first joined here in 2011, "Don't should on yourself!"

Eliminating I "should", I "need" from my vocabulary was revolutionary. This is exactly what landed me in hot TMS waters in the first place.
