Jump up breathing hard and wild-eyed, feeling like emerging through a tunnel, dizzy, nauseous, also splitting headaches, or shock and terror, confusion... yeah, all that. This has happened more than once, both times with littles. One shot forward in the middle of therapy session, absolutely confused and could hardly even speak. She hadn't been in front since second grade. Thank God my T knew what she was doing and the poor little one had a warm and soothing welcome. Another time a little one who'd been locked in trauma came forward and it was freaking painful (my best friend got to see that one). I know hard switching has happened to us more than these but I can't quite remember them, I just have a vague memory of the shock and discomfort.
