I remember when I was learning recursion that I didn't get it for a while until it just clicked and made sense one day. It's hard to remember what it was like not getting it, but I think that a large part of it was not trusting that the recursive call would return the right thing. Eventually, by just encountering more problems in class where it was needed, it just clicked. I think it's that lack of trust that gets a lot of people tripped up.
