Absolutely. He never asked me to, but I asked if we could look at old family photos together. He asked me if I wanted to talk about them and I felt like I needed to. It brought up a lot of feelings and memories for me--difficult but good stuff to work with. And there were many things he noticed that were helpful to me. It helped me to recognize how powerless I was as a child, and that was important to counter feelings of responsibility. It also further bonded our relationship. It felt very protective of me for him to see and talk about the child I was. I felt he was quite moved by those sessions.
