I think you really did! It sounds as though you were able to bring up powerful feelings from a part of you which had previously been unconscious and *cut-off* from your adult self. In my own therapy, this is happening quite a lot, now, and I am actually always surprised, afterwards, that I feel a bit better, each time. I have a diagnosis of an ego state disorder, meaning that I have separated my adult self to an abnormal extent from a childhood self which suffered abuse and neglect. I am starting to wonder, however, whether everyone does this to a greater or lesser extent, in order to deal with the disappointments which we probably all have in some aspects of our childhoods.
