I experienced the most profound growth in my voice over the shortest period
of time experiencing exactly what you describe. Give it a chance. It is
normal to experience a period of malorientation when new muscles are being
stimulated and strengthened. Singing is like ballet except that most
people don't spend the vocal equivalent of their time "at the bar" to do
the equivalent of dancing on point. It sounds to me like you are getting
expert training.
Best of luck.
