Just curious if anyone else experienced this...
Been doing a lot of intense work with my T over the past couple of weeks, & I've started to recall a bunch of hallucinations & delusions that I had from as young as age 5 through my early teens. The hallucinations were very vivid & seemed completely real to me. Usually they were threatening... demons appearing on my bedroom walls & talking to me, snakes, stuff like that. The visual hallucinations stopped by the time I was 10 or so. Also had a lot of delusional thinking growing up... extreme, irrational fears, thinking my family was going to die & it would be my fault, etc. My thinking still gets pretty distorted now if I go into a heavy depressive phase.
Any thoughts? Seems odd that I would have such intense hallucinations when I was a kid & then they just disappeared...
