Can you identify it in retrospect? Maybe not, if your normal self is disconnected from the panic reaction, as mine were? But I've tried, in my rational moments, to try to understand better what was going on when I allowed my non-rational self to "be". Over time, that has helped some.
The need to create distance seems like a good start. Why the need for that? I saw you're addressing that on your other thread, too. Triggered by something based in your past, or something current time with your T in the session, or maybe both?
