Dear Stian;

Upon first reading it looks to me like a good meditation/ inner-child exercise because the results included:

1. You calming yourself successfully: “I breathed and calmed down my body… And the feeling dissipated like a cloud in the sky, and I feel very blissful at the moment writing this”.

2. You connecting to the child in you successfully, and comforted him effectively (#1 above): “kept talking to that little  boy .. had a conversation with him, telling him it will all be alright kiddo. I love you no matter what, you are safe with me”.

My suggestions: space out these exercises so to not overwhelm yourself. Don’t expect the next exercise to be as successful as this one (it might and it might not be as successful). If you feel distressed during such exercise, end the exercise; don’t try too hard for too long at any one time. Engage in a daily routine of physical exercise and other healthy activities, including quality time with your girlfriend.
