There are times I feel like running but have not left. Mostly it's when we talk about trauma or loss. A lot of times I end up dissociating when that happens. I never actually leave because I would always get in trouble at home for leaving the room if an adult was "talking" to me. It's pretty much ingrained in me that I don't leave anyplace unless given permission (be it from my wife, my therapist, my boss, or my parents) if I'm uncomfortable while talking.
