I was then left with all these pictures going around in my head and feeling like I had walked into a brick wall - really stunned.
I just wondered if this is how it happens with others, like suddenly the dam wall breaks and there is not stopping it.

It can happen in so many different and surprising ways. There is really no formula unless your therapist is using a particular type of therapy and even then there are unpredictable moments. The best practice is to be mindful of whatever is happening and try to welcome the information as a clue in a puzzle. It is often not an easy process but it can be wonderfully transforming as you work to connect the dots.
Good luck-
