For me, it made me lose my "ego" to a certain extent during the experiences, I was able to feel some (what I now know are very important) emotions I was struggling to feel or accept for many, many years after trying many different types of therapy and medicines. Once I was able to feel and confront those emotions and discover what had me so wound up, upset and sad - I was finally able to start the process of healing.
