Quite frequently. Especially lately when I seem to be regressing quite a bit in therapy and pulling up old feelings and memories. But before too.
I usually inform my therapist that I feel dizzy. Sometimes he instructs me on breathing, but I know how to do this and he knows I know. Most of the time he just tells me that it's ok to talk about these things and speaks to me gently while I do what I need to do. I'm very good at relaxation techniques, self hypnosis, etc. and I can usually just move to a different level within myself and shake the dizziness enough to continue. Not always though.
I always want to put my head between my knees or just tell him I feel like throwing up, but that seems so dramatic I never manage it. Telling him calmly that I feel dizzy is about as far as I can go.
Have you learned yourself what helps you over the years?
