I DID reply to your post. I really advise you to read Janov's book on primal therapy (deep feeling, regressive therapy is another way it is called) and check out this page, because it describes a similar situation to your's - I'm referring specifically to the section titled "The Discovery Of Primal Pain":

Looks to me like you had a primal - release of repressed, primal (early) pain.
You say that you breathe funny. Controlled breathing is a way of achieving non-ordinary states of consciousness - regression falls into this category. Try reading Stanislav Grof's writing on holotropic breathwork. Does your T know anything about regressive therapy? Sounds like she might but she's afraid to name it - this stuff is not mainstream and is pretty unpopular with the psychotherapeutical establishment.
Another good webpage with tons of articles on regressive therapy that might interest you:
I wish I could share with you my own "primal" story but I have not yet had a primal. I'm working on it though. :)
