Cowering in a corner on the couch, panicked.

Hi I'm sorry I didn't convey what happened properly. The T showed me where I need to touch certain pressure points on my body but didn't actually touch me (acupressure). Pretty much EMDR.
I found it to be effective in bringing things up to the surface while at the same time it felt overwhelming and scary at the same time. As I got close to getting/feeling an emotion I would shut down. Kind of like hitting an emotional brick wall. Getting so close but then everything shuts down.
Hope my description makes it a little more clear.
