That is what I am worried about, just not sure I am comfortable with the prospect of using things like attempting to slow breathing or go to some mental safe place(which not sure i could create) if I have a panic attack I might need my Valium not deep breathing excercises. But don't know if you're supposed to take anxiety meds like in session.

But if it starts making me uncomfortable then I am not obligated to keep going if I start in the first place...though its not just panic attacks/flashbacks that could be triggered that I worry about.
