Has anyone does this? Left your session without the intention of actually leaving? I didn't storm out in anger, but I needed to get outside, the flashback was so intense and outside is often the only place I feel truly safe. And the sun, wind, temperature, birds...they help to ground me. So without warning I just got up and walked out. I didn't say anything to T (she did realize I was either flashing back or dissociating though). She did follow me (I think she asked "Where are you going?" but I'm not entirely sure) - not closely because she knew that would freak me out - but I think she didn't feel right leaving me alone? So while I sat on the parking lot curb trying to figure out life, she stood nearby, waiting for me to receive her... eventually we returned inside, once I was feeling calmer.

Has this, or something similar, ever happened to anyone?
