Hmmm, sorry you get the pain, but an interesting question. Hasn't happened to me yet, that I remember(and I'll bet I would).
I do sometimes feel a wave of nausea, a tight chest, dizziness or a weird pain in my stomach. I have come to recognize any of those as only happening when T. is treading close to something I don't want to look at, or didn't even know was there, and is too scary. It started with former T. and has happened once with new T.
Funny, too, it's so ingrained that when old T. wrote me an email a few weeks ago containing a phrase about feeling "needy and unwanted" (tender and dangerous ground) I felt ill sitting at my computer. (I did tease him for his ability to *make me sick* even long distance ;))
But I think quite a few Babblers have had these types of reactions, but not headaches.
ShortE, does the therapy-headache feel like a *real* headache, if you get my meaning? Not that it's imaginary at all, but can you distinguish it from others (if you have them) like tension, hunger, caffeine withdrawal, etc? Just curious as there's a difference with my stomach and nausea stuff.
I won't be surprised if I get a headache one day.
Yet another way therapy sometimes has to hurt, I suppose. <sigh>
