I just learned the stroke order for 心. I used to see it as like 3 parts at the top with like a cup underneath. But now I almost see it like a weird 八 on the left with two accents on the right.
try learning 必 next, which has a totally different pattern, and re-breaks one’s sense of 心
(there’s more than one way to draw it, one is 心 plus a slash, but the official way is a different order, try that other one)
I dont remember if I’m honest with you I started to learn the language exactly a year a go and I still remember seeing them as weird shaped symbols when I beggan but now I see them just we see the latin letters with what we write.
In fact I feel more easy to read kanji because I only have to give a quick sight to its shape to guess the word I’m reading. I never experienced something like you described.
What i could describe as a transition between seeing kanji as a familiar shape instead of a bunch of weird strokes put together is when I start to learn more “complex” kanjis like 懲、酢、離、嗣、etc. They changed the way I saw those radicals than when I learn them alone.
Next one for you would be 必 that one is not entirely intuitive
