Seeking Guidance in Little Space Dynamics

I'm a trans woman in my 30s who recently delved into the world of little space dynamics as a way to explore some deeper emotional connections with others. It's been an incredibly vulnerable experience for me, as it often feels like I'm baring my soul and allowing myself to be completely dependent on someone else for guidance and care. This role-play isn't just about pretending, I find that in these moments of playacting a younger self, I often uncover deeper, more hidden parts of my psyche and past experiences with attachment and trust. It's both exhilarating and terrifying at times, especially when the emotional intensity can feel overwhelming. I've been wondering if others find this type of dynamic helpful for personal growth or if it could be a sign that there are unresolved issues from my past that need addressing in therapy rather than through role-play scenarios with partners. I'm seeking advice from those who have experience either in similar dynamics or with emotional exploration and healing. Is this kind of play typically seen as an unhealthy escape, or can it genuinely provide pathways to self-understanding? I would appreciate any thoughts on whether diving into such emotionally charged spaces is a healthy way to explore one's inner world and build stronger relationships.
