I dissociate in session fairly frequently. Recently I have been working on grounding with T so I can try to avoid checking out.

I have noticed and now it is quite obvious that I get headaches prior to dissociating. Yesterday we were deep in conversation and all of a susdden my temples were just throbbing with pressure. I said to T that I was getting a big fat headache. His response? "Stay with me Miss." So I did some deep breath work and was able to stay in the room pretty well. When I left I had no headache at all.

I had noticed the headaches before but thought it was coincidental but now I know it isn't. Has anyone else experienced this phenomena?
