This happened to me for the first time last week in therapy. I too was sexually abused as a child.
My T and I were wrangling over this new trust issue that has come up (even after 13 years or so) just recently when I started to shake uncontrollably and could not catch my breath. It was pure feeling, no memories or anything, just pure feelings. She let me go w/it for awhile but then brought me back. It was really hard for me to come back and it took a long time.I was a wreck for days and went to see her twice in a day, when the feelings came up again. If this was releasing primal pain, I'm all for it. I just didn't understand what it was, but I will discuss it with her tomorrow when I see her. For me, I feel completely hollow now; I have no center, as if I've been completely deconstructed. I also feel like my 9-yr old self is now in charge, which is scary, but there must be a reason.
The timing of your post was perfect. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your perspective.
