That was exactly my impression... That the meditative practices are likely having the effect of facilitating the release of suppressed/subconscious emotional material (energy)... Stuff that eventually needed to be purged (released)...

Personally, I don't believe it's a wise practice to try to compare/contrast your experience(s) with that of accounts from some specific subculture (i.e. 'Tibetan Monks')... The nature of human experiences is complex, and quite diverse and varied... There is no mold to conform to - you know?

Yes....
I experienced spontaneous and deeply-healing emotional releases during a time in my life when I was undergoing substantial internal growth and changes... After the emotional activity/energy passed through me - I recall having felt lighter afterwards, and like some kind of weight/burden had been lifted off me...
You used the word 'attacks' but I perceive them as 'blessings in disguise'...
