Sometimes as memories begin to surface there are complete body responses. I can feel things being held in my body, and remember what it felt like to be abused. Often I don't realize that I'm remembering with my body because I'm talking and "seeing" it with my brain. My therapist will point out what I'm doing -- wiggling, clutching the pillow(s) or hugging myself.
I have a powerful emotional response when my therapist talks to the younger me. Her emotions take over, boil out and are so intense it is scary. Perhaps you are getting in touch with a frozen age state?
I hope you find relief soon.
