It does cover a lot. T and I haven't fully gone into detail because I've blocked out many memories (apparently my defense mechanism). I will say that I too, thought this was the norm but realized it wasn't at a much younger age. And well - the ish hit that fan - no one knew how to deal with me and I didn't know how to deal with myself. I think its good that you are discovering these things with your T instead of from your own observations. In regards to the whole mouth dropping/bawling thing - its not really my style. But it does leave you with a lot of emotional torment - because once you have been enlightened everything kind of comes rushing back to you at once and you find yourself processing any and every memory wondering if and how that incident screwed you up.

The biggest thing though, and the upside to it all, is that you begin to understand how your past affected you then - and your development into an adult. And you work through those emotions, and you learn to process them (because they won't go away) and you learn about your own inner strength in the mean time. You have to work really hard to try not resent these people or yourself, and you use those tools as well for your betterment. You begin to see that you can overcome things, that you have overcome things and life just begins to make a little more sense. I hope this helps. (((hug)))
