I was doing really well processing a molestation memory. After several weeks I got my anxiety level about it down to a 2 out of 10. My therapist always asks me where in my body I feel bad. I always had felt it mostly in my stomach and some in my chest. Then she asked me what is keeping me at a 2? I told her there was one vague feeling I can't work out. She asked where I feel it in my body. For some reason I said, I feel it in my head like a headache. She asked me to focus on it and as I started to, I was suddenly overwhelmed and started to dissociate. I panicked and almost had a full flashback and was triggered back at a 10! We had to end the session early and I spent the last 10 minutes trying to come back to the present and calm down. I felt awful and defeated like I had to start all over. I was doing so well. Any thoughts?
