That sounds really awful and scary. I hope you're feeling a bit better today. And it's especially rough when therapy is the source of these feelings. I remember a time when I would literally start shaking and feel like I was "losing it" whenever I thought of my last session. It was very very hard for me to go back in to try to talk about what happened. But it wound up being a very significant event in my therapy process.
I don't know if my experience is similar to yours. And I also think that if therapy has so many ups and downs, it must be especially exhausting. I hope you've been able to work in some self-care and self-soothing. I find sleep is a requirement for me after particularly draining sessions. Massages and herbal tea also help.
What works for you?
