Yes. I was triggered (unintentionally) by my therapist and I had to leave the room. Actually, I totally the left the session early. I couldn't return that day because my emotions were so out of control. I contacted my therapist later to apologize, and she not only understood, but was proud of me for standing up for myself and taking action to take care of myself in that moment. What I felt she would see as 'running away' she saw as strength and standing up for my needs. It was an interesting perspective shift for me. Good luck.
