I've been doing therapy like this for most of eleven months now. It's challenging to bear the emotional intensity sometimes, but so very helpful and productive. It facilitates emotional openness and trust and pinpoint emotional hotspots in my life and work on them. I agree about just taking extra good care of yourself and also, I think it helps to be mindful of my strengths during these periods as focusing so intensely on the things that hurt/need fixing can be agitating after a while.
