Anyway the "fear" makes sense. For me the "fear" was the "fear" that I was too afraid(or not allowed to feel) earlier in my life.
I had to create a safe place to go in therapy before I could "feel" and deal with the fear. For me, I learned to have triggers to feel safer (a picture, a word, a blanket) It was very difficult for me to learn that it was okay to be afraid - in reality I had been afraid all my life but just didn't acknowledge it.
The headaches make sense to me too. My body "reacted" to the emotions when I felt out of control.
I'm not sure this helps, but I do understand. jane
