I've had times when I have re-experienced what must have been feelings from a childhood time. For instance, I frequently talk about a long hospitalization in a body cast at age 5 as a core trauma that had many consequences. There have been times when I've had access to the emotional experience. It was unbearable almost and must have been even more so for 5 year old. Once this happens though I feel relieved and have more of that processed. It gets lighter and becomes an event along with others.
