It might be helpful to give some additional information about my subliminal history. So before E4 I was on OFv1, first couple of months I was on masked format and things were going good and a lot of surface level fears were being dealt with. Further down the line I increased the volume slightly. Things were still going alright but eventually started to turn for the worse. Impatient as I was I changed to US after a while (maybe 3 months in) because I thought that it would help me get out of my already negative rut and deal with fears faster. Didnt took too long and I became really apatethic and depressed with lots of tension in my head. I eventually stopped because it was unbearable. Took a break for a month and started E4 with masked format and 2-3 weeks in and above symptoms started to appear again.

You say wall of fear and I think that make sense. Im more anxious and stressed than normal, sleep poorly and sometimes have nightmares were I experience extreme forms of fear. Since I was a kid I always burried my emotions and I think that I early on decided subconsciously that I will never look at them. Your subs being so strong is forcing it to come up. I remember during my OF run while on masked format sometimes when I took a nap while listening, huge amounts of emotions were being pulled up and it almost felt like my chest was going to explode from all the energy, until I woke up.

I guess what you have experienced were the so called resistance. As for which kind of resistance it is, I am not sure myself. You could read Shannon's post about resistance if you have the time. This is the link to the post I talk about https://subliminal-talk.com/Thread-Types-Of-Resistance-And-How-To-Spot-Them

From what I often read here, when you meet some kind of resistances, you should either reduce your exposure or increase it. Giving up (stop using or changing subs halfway) are out of the question. Since you have met with a strong resistance, I am gonna assume that you are listening to 5.5G sub or newer. Those are the one strong enough to trigger resistance. 

You could reduce your exposure by switching the track in which you are listening to to a more gentle format (from hybrid to ultrasonic and/or from ultrasonic to masked). If it does not work, you could reduce your volume. And if it still does not work, you could try to reduce the amount of time you listen to the sub. In another word, reducing loops per day on to the amount of what is being prescribed in the product page. Reducing exposure are usually needed by those who have strong personality. Those who does not like being told what to do.

Another way to deal with resistance is to confront it instead by increasing the exposure. Switching to a stronger format, increasing volume, increasing loops per day on, increasing day on or reducing day off per ASRB2 cycle. This way, sooner or later, the resistance will be eradicated and your subconscious will be able to execute the script better and faster.

Sometimes, when you have listened to a sub for long time, your subconscious can get bored so it does not want to execute it. If this happen, what you need to do is to take a break from listening. You could take 2 to 6 weeks off before listening again. You could also listen to another sub first and then come back after you feel like your subconscious boredom has ended. 

Please note that subconscious boredom happen after you listen to subs for a long time. If you want to stop listening or change sub before you finish it, it is most likely a resistance rather than boredom. Anyway, I am a new user and this is technically my first ever post on this forum so please take my advice with a grain of salt. Hope this help.
