Hi I've been seeing a psychologist for about 5-6 sessions now. I went to see her because of relationship issues (narcissistic partner). Over the course of our sessions she has managed to unearth all this baggage from when I was a child and adolescent. It has been a painful experience for me as I feel like I am reliving the moments especially attached to the death of my dad when I was 9 years old. At the time we talk it's all OK and then I get into this really pensive mood afterwards and then one thought leads to another and before you know it I am a blubbering mess. Is that normal? Ive never done therapy before but I thought it would be more direct and focused on the specific issue(s). I can't quite grasp how unearthing how I feel and past issues helps me deal with my partner and the issues HE has now.
