I'm curious as to how common it is to have the experience that I have had of being triggered. For me, I quite often feel a little lousy after my session, and particularly the couple of days afterwords. However on a small number of occaisions something completely different happened, which is this: Sometime after my session, and the following day I have felt a depth of lousiness that felt like I was re-experiencing the feelings of trauma from my early life, the feelings at these times have brought me to my knees, the first time it happened to me I had no idea what was going on, except that I could barely function, and felt like a child again, feeling the emotions of a painful, trauma. (I don't know what the original trauma actually was).
I'm interested to know how many others have experienced this, what you make of the experience and what you do about it. Maybe the experience is different for other people?
