Granite, I love your letter! It would be really good to share it with your T.

I think that you were triggered in her office when this happened. You were triggered back to the past and at that moment you were that child that suffered so much at the hands of the mother. Understanding that this is happening is the first step in working through this so that you can get it to stop. The above part that I quoted summarizes being triggered back into time.
