Freud popularized that word, abreaction. Unless I miss my mark, it means you relive a truama so vividly, it is not really something experienced as being 'relived'. It is happening, as it were, for the first time, again.
For you to use such a word in connection w/ your Dad? No wonder you pithily typed 'No.'
However, you should be aware that in the world of those great trustworthy fellows, psychologists, abreactions are seen very positively. Abreactions are essential mileposts that must be passed on the road to full health during the psychotherapeutic experience. Essential catharsis moments if you will...
But they use the word incorrectly, I think, while you used it, I believe, quite correctly. For golf is actually designed to produce abreactions in my view. Ping pong, like all reactionary sports, is designed to lull you toward the false joys provided by Zen and its varients.
My understanding of Freud's Dad, and how he treated his son, Sigmund, leads me to think if I had Sigmund's Dad as my own Dad, I would likely be focusing on words like abreaction too, as well as some of the other things ...

It could be that Sigmund never knew any thing other than "dark times" w/ his Dad. And, logically, if all you experience is dark, why, then light itself .... must be a myth.
btw, I found 'abreaction' in this article too:
One last thing. Darwin had ancestors who were famous in their own right, but he had one descendent, a grandson, who was also famous:
