What if your T accidently farted or vomited in therapy?

I barfed in front of my T. He rubbed my back and got me a trash can

Solid, right? Not Mesh? Ahahaha.

But seriously, I'm sorry you were ill. That was nice of your T.

I have had to take a bathroom break in the middle of therapy. No big deal. Sometimes my T would want a bottled water and as she was going to get it she asked if I'd like one too.

I might be embarrassed if I farted but I'd move on and not dwell on it. Puking though - oof, that would stop therapy cold if either of us puked. Not that it is embarrassing but I have a low tolerance for nausea and if I felt that bad there is no way I could focus on therapy.

I had a PDOC fall asleep on me... does that count?

Yea it was a real trash can lol

I am in healthcare field so neither would bug me. I'd get into carer mode.

My t always leaves me alone, mostly whilst she finishes her dinner or goes to get water. I take pictures of her office so I can remember it. It doesn't give me much comfort though because it's the most hideous therapy room ever.

He did belch once and apologize. I had a fleeting ET at the time and it did help me to see the reality. . Neither of my T's have taken bathroom breaks during session although I do , I saw EMDR T coming out of the bathroom and idly thought " Oh , he is human - he has to pee ! " I don't think I would worry too much about farting , but I would be concerned about vomiting that they were unwell.

Careful what you wish for!

Flu season is coming!

Oh, that reminds me of when I had an appointment with T and wanted to talk to MC briefly about something, and he said he'd talk to me for a few minutes after my T appt. T appt. ends, and he's not in his office. T said she'd check to make sure he hadn't left, then came back and, trying not to laugh, said, "He's in the men's room! I wouldn't knock on that door." I wanted to wait in her office, but she had another client coming, so I went to the waiting room and asked the receptionist if she could let MC know I was there when he came out of the bathroom. I spent a very awkward 5 minutes or more waiting--pretty sure he wasn't just peeing! I would have been horribly embarrassed in his position, but he just acted like everything was normal when he came out. Definitely dampened some of the ET!

A lot of interesting answers. This question just popped up in my head I think, perhaps because my T sometimes wears thin, slim tights and shows a bit much of herself, it lead me to think about toilet matters and such, I´m not sure why.

I would think both T farting and vomiting is embarrassing, I meant T vomiting like on the floor in front of me. Even if it´s human I would find it embarrassing to watch, it would be a huge contrast to T sitting in her chair talking and not showing that much of herself, I now mean she don´t eat, don´t yawn or something like that. She never visits the bathroom during sessions and I´ve never seen her come out from the bathroom as the waiting room is a separated area from where the T:s have their restroom.

So my t actually excused himself in session today to go to the bathroom, so of course i had to tell him about this thread! And i reminded him to go get a flu shot so hopefully there wont be any simultaneous sharting and puking in my future.

Well...only if YOU got a flu shot, too!

Today my marriage counselor mentioned something about gas expanding to the size of the container it was in, which of course made me think of this thread. Managed not to laugh.

I got 4 freakin shots this year! Breathe on me, i dare ya! Whats on that stick, i aint afraid! I thought he was going to say it was good self care, he came up with some better language than that.

T2 farted once. She said excuse me and we went on. No big deal.

If one of them vomited, I would be concerned that they were ill and would want to be compassionate and helpful. I think I would react to anyone vomiting in front of me.

T1 has excused himself a lot-but we used to do several hour-long sessions so that seemed normal. Sometimes I would also use the restroom, sometimes I would refill coffee cups.

T2 excused herself once during a session. It didn't take very long and I didn't mind. When you have to go, you have to go.

I dunno -- something like this would still get my r.e.s.p.e.c.t.

(I feel like I should put a trigger warning there or something)

Pretty sure she farted once. It was audible but we both ignored it because I was talking about something at the time. She has had a rumbly tummy more than once.

Farts don't bother me, everybody does it. Where I'm from, it's like a sign of affection... If we fart in front of you, you're family. That being said, I will NEVER allow myself to do it on front of her. Lol.

yes, that was horrible! lol
