Yes exactly!
It's impossible to just turn off feelings like a tap once they've been brought up, then you have to go off to wherever, often in a highly emotional state and be 'normal' again. I've tried therapy at both ends of the day and neither is ideal when there is somewhere else you need to be afterwards.
Apart from breathing exercises, they don't seem to teach you how to deal with the fallout from all the crap you're left with at the end of the session.
