That's growth, Rainbow. It's discovering that you have a healthy mechanism by which you can sit with your emotions, let them run their course, and then be able to work on the underlying issues. It's discovering that not everything that feels intense is actually something that you have to "do" something about; emotions come and go. If the underlying issue is still there, it is still there to work on even without intense emotions. It's discovering that you may not need to contact your therapist in the moment for every strong emotion you feel; you can sit through the emotions on your own now moreso than you once could.
