Question to Sifu: Discharging of Power When Disconnecting from Partner Abruptly?

Dear Sifu,

I have a question that I've been perplexed with (for the lack of a better word) lately. When you have a bit of time, I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

 

Basically, I had a chance to touch hands with a gentleman (long time student of TCC) recently and the strangest thing happened. After I harmonized with him (I try to work on continuously trying to feel the 13 points of the partner and harmonize), if I disconnected (i.e. let his 13 points go and harmonize with myself only) abruptly, while we are still in physical contact, a fair amount of power got discharged at him. This happened a few times. I tried with my wife a couple of times and it happened intermittently as well even though I was able to control how much power discharged by slowing down the disconnection process. It feels like disconnecting abruptly, after having engaged in the way I described above seems to be somewhat dangerous. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a standard way to discharge power at the opponent through disconnection which I have to be mindful of not to do? When I don't disconnect abruptly, it seems fine - almost like gently handing the partner their balance/structure back.

Peace and harmony!
