I usually get the urge whenever we discuss scary/intense topics. Sometimes I dissociate a lot so I feel like im not even there, but other times I want to ask my T if I could just step out for 5 minutes to get some fresh air but Im afraid all my T would say is "lets do breathing exercises" which will just make me more anxious!
I guess ill never know unless I try. This time if the same urge happens, Im going to be honest with T and ask to step outside, it is my right.

It was very tough because I have always had issues with touch my whole life and to have a therapist keep touching me when I asked her to stop several times made my issues around touch worse. My current T says she is happy I yelled at ex-T and told her to stop and left her office. She is glad I used my voice because sometimes its hard to assertive.
I think its fine if you want to step out for minute. I think T's are used to that.
