I have had the flu, before, of course, but this feels different, like vertigo. I barely made it driving home, it was hard to stay in the lane.
So now I am wondering if therapy has ever made you sick in addition to tired?

When I was feeling some really intense transference stuff a week ago, for a couple hours after session, I was having chills even though it was warm outside. Like I was shivering. I tend to have trouble eating after an intense session, too. The chills were unusual though. Had an ache in my chest a bit, too--which I associate with feeling things from the past (that's happened a few times before).
Then yesterday, I gave marriage counselor some rather negative feedback, and though I was rather emotional in session, was surprised that I wasn't crying or anything afterward. But it was weird, later in the evening I got really itchy, almost like hives. Later, I fell asleep for a bit and woke up feeling really sick, like my stomach was bothering me. I was OK after an hour or so, but it was like I was having a physiological reaction in place of an emotional one.
Hope you feel better soon!
