I would decide if I wanted to talk about the feelings or actions, especially if you no longer engage in those actions and the feelings are resolving themselves as part of what else you are talking about in therapy. If things are moving in the direction you want with what you are doing in therapy and your life now, I would just chalk up what came before to defense mechanisms or symptoms, etc. and not mention them unless there was an obvious opening where it made sense in light of what I am talking about/doing now.
