One time after I came back, T asked me what happens and what it feels like. I told him that I can hear him talking but I'm not really listening, my heart starts to beat fast, I get shaky and panicky. He told me that something he said incites panic in me and it means we're getting somewhere big. He told me that he wants me to tell him when I start to feel spacy and just let him know when I feel it coming on so we can deal with it before I'm too far gone.
I hate when it happens because that is when I have so much trouble remembering the session and what he said. I try to journal that night so I at least have some memory of what happened and what was said..it does help a lot!

that panicky feeling has happened to me a couple times recently too.... I told T, actually I was like OMG what is happening, I am having a weird attack of some sort here!!


She had me do deep breathing to calm me......and told me she thought it was big feelings coming up. I think she is right, she was reading in my journaling about something big, a loss, a grief....and she thought it was grief and pain coming up and I was feeling it as an attack of anxiety-like feelings.....
