I looked up the author of that quote, and read about a type of therapy called primal therapy and realized that sounds like my Ts approach. Reading about it made the hair on my arms and neck stand up.

Primal therapy is used to re-experience childhood pain—i.e., felt rather than conceptual memories—in an attempt to resolve the pain through complete processing and integration, becoming real. An intended objective of the therapy is to lessen or eliminate the hold early trauma exerts on adult behaviour.
