I agree with gelfling, and I am of course bias and believe in "object relations" theory, that says you are gonna keep recreating your childhood conflicts in all aspects of you life.

I donno, I think it would be interesting, I don't know if the doc does the same type of therapy, but since you said your past huants you,
I would say check it out. It also seems rare these days to find a specialist into that kind of thing.

If the doc is psychoanalytic or psychodynamic, then it is likely that she believes that you are putting a lot of energy into keeping the areas of your past that bother you from surfacing, in many conscious or unconscious ways-however you reacted as a kid back then are now your coping mechanisms for your current life-so might be something worth exploring.

Take care,
