Well, I wouldn't call it my "therapy persona". :)
I haven't had the exact same sort of experience. But I'm an old friend of odd experiences of various sorts. I used to be absolutely obsessed with figuring out *why* I did the things I did. I just couldn't understand my reactions at all. They had no internal consistency. Now, I don't have that problem at all. I understand my reactions, and they make perfect sense.
It sounds as if you're understanding your reactions, even if they are disconcerting to you. I'm not sure they ever stop being a bit disconcerting, but understanding and listening are enormously helpful to me. Do you feel a bit more secure having a good idea *why* you're feeling the way you're feeling? And having some idea of what you can do about the feelings?
