Finding and releasing emotional blockages has the unexpected benefit of bringing forgotten memories to mind and the insight associated with them.

Yeah, it's definitely an upside.
It's also, for a lot of people, something that should be supported with therapy.
(Speaking from hard-won experience here.)

A lot of people will feel surges of relief, even pleasure, or a bit of sorrow, when one of these blockages go.
But there can also be uncontrollable fear, anger...
Replying to
Yeah. It is probably wise to develop skills in equanimity and 'letting go' before releasing particularly intense blockages.

Better yet, just get a clear picture of what your psychological issues might be before you try to solve them.
I'm not a fan of diagnosing and medicalizing every mental health problem, but a model of what ails you (e.g. borderline = emotional instability) can do a lot of good.
