I have mild rosacea so my face gets flushed when I get anxious. It only happened once or twice in therapy, though, and most of the time when I see my internist. I feeler safer with my T.
I remember getting a headache when I had a very intense session once. But my most prevalent physical reaction is having to use the bathroom. Usually I waited until the session was over, but a few times when I told my T something very difficult, I had to take a bathroom break. Fortunately, it was right across from her office. At my old T's, I had to get a key and walk all the way down the hall. I felt like I was wasting my precious therapy minutes!
I also tore a styrofoam cup to pieces during a session with my first T. I actually have that session on tape, and you can hear the sounds of tearing it, though I didn't remember doing it!
