The basic process is, when the surface of the mind quiets down the deeper contents of the psyche start coming up, which is the healing process.

It is difficult as the traumas which are held in are no longer held down by the hard noise of the surface mind. As you become agitated like you describe, there is resistance to the deeper issues that need to come through - and we all become sensitive in this way when dealing with the 'inner storms'.

The key is being consciously aware of the angst without being pulled into it. You remain the one aware, like a light keeper is aware of the storm.
