BayLeaf,
I'm familiar with the feeling of going to be sick - sometimes I've had that very strongly during sessions. I've never needed to have the trashcan next to me though. Other times I've felt a stabbing pain in the side of my head, like my body is reacting to the very tension of talking/opening up about unpleasant things.
*Triggery*
I have the feeling that being able to remember - sorting it out in my head could somehow bring back my control over the situation and help me resolve it. For example, I have unexplained scars on my torso which I've had for as long as I can remember - at 4 I had chicken pocks and my mother made this big thing of how I got it so badly that it caused scarring. The fact is, they aren't chicken pocks scars - they are the wrong size and shape - they look more like the marks left by finger nails. And there are numerous other similar kinds of things that I can't explain but am also unable ignore.
It's a pity the past can't just stay that way and that we can't just go on into the future with a fresh start.
