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.

Yep. it's completely incongruent -- digging deep into sensitive stuff on a tight schedule and in small doses. Even a layperson could surmise that a bunch of catharsis, followed by an abrupt ending, followed by a few days or a week of separation, is going to lead to problems. There shouldn't be a need to deal with the fallout from a session, in my opinion. It means something is wrong. A healthy intervention should not leave the client/patient scrambling to recover their equilibrium.
