So that one is definitely out.

Just a thought...could you maybe tell your T that you want to talk about what happened at the last session, but you're concerned it will be triggering and you'll feel the need to leave again. And then, maybe ask your T for some ways to help you discuss it without feeling like your only options are to leave or become violent?
Perhaps your T can offer some ideas of other ways to handle the discussion. Ease you in to it, stop it if you start to become too upset, give you some options other than leaving...I dunno...as the T, I'd think they might have some ideas on how to make it more manageable for you so that you can stay in the room and have the discussion.
With my T, when she says something particularly triggering to me, I've started telling her that I feel like I need to leave, but I don't really want to. We talk about that feeling and how to work through it, and then slowly get back to the discussion. Once we start talking about whatever triggered me, my T checks in with me frequently to see how I'm handling it (I did have to ask her to do this, though).
