Oh my gosh -- I may have to borrow your words at some point... the fear in the stomach and arousal everywhere else is EXACTLY what I feel sometimes in session - not in the past few months, but before that and it's only around certain topics, so it may come back. And it totally freaks me out and at this point my T and I are dealing with totally other (but important) stuff so it's not salient for me right now. I'm sure my T would handle it well, but I'm just not ready.
Interesting... I was just going to say that it's especially weird for me because I was never sexually abused and it doesn't happen around that topic... but then I remembered that I was sexually assaulted and that's exactly the topic it happens around. A little denial anyone?
It sounds like your T will help you handle it. And I bet he was celebrating in his head when you said that because he was so happy that you trusted him enough to tell him. Hang in there. If you can find it in you to tell him when it is happening (although I tend to get all spacey when that starts happening so I'm not sure I could articulate it), I bet he would be great about it.
Take care. I'm proud of you,
