Yes, it can be very intense and unless you have experienced these painful feelings, it may be hard to understand. I am happy for the folks who may not need to deal with this. I spent 30 minutes on my basement floor last night crying and crying - it all goes back to my primary attachments. It did not matter that my adult self knew I was not being abandoned, that wounded child within me was in terrible pain. Eventually I felt better, but it is hard. It matters enough to me to keep working on it...
