There are stages in meditation when painful thoughts and memories might come bubbling up. If you’re just sitting still with your mind and have nothing to distract you, you may occasionally end up facing some past trauma, especially if you’ve previously avoided dealing with it and have e.g. tried to just distract yourself from it whenever it came up.
(This is not necessarily a negative anything in the long run, since facing those negative thoughts can help in getting over them.)
