Keep in mind that emotions do come out but you are remembering and experience that provokes a normal response of emotion. After you are in therapy it is important to spend time and focus on not letting the emotions take over. It happens sometimes and that is when you have to take as moment to calm down and be in the moment and think about relaxing and getting yourself back together. Part of the experience has passed and you are taking another step towards healing, and feeling better. You have to put some trust in the fact that you are taking the steps to healing and you will get better.
We are always here to listen and help you calm down and ease up on those emotions. And some of those emotions will include anger. So you can always come here and rant and we can all work on that too. You are not alone.

Thank you open eyes. It is really hard to talk through this stuff. It leaves me feeling so raw and vulnerable. I know I need to use my good coping skills when this happens. But it is so hard. It would be so much easier just to use bad coping skills. My T said something I really liked in T. She said we were going to work on "overcoming the experience". I know that if I want to overcome it, I can't let it cause me more harm by hurting myself now. Because that would be letting the experience cause me more trauma. I need to try and hold on to that.
