Hi Eve,
well-done analysis! Yes, from her symptoms I'd also read a brain stem level conflict, it's too much for her to digest at one time, as she herself stated that she likes to eat only small bites! This gives her a strategy to chunk big input down by focusing on one step or detail at a time, and that's the way that the show can keep going on!
This insight (while needing her own pace, she is moving forward. When taking on too much, she probably isn't!) can also resolve the inner conflict "it's too much - but the show must go on" which are forces pulling in opposite directions...
