I think you were dissociating badly when you left and she needs to know so she can ground you better before you leave the office. The shaking for me is usually the trauma releasing. Maybe you tried to do too much processing too soon and you got overwhelmed. While this has happened to me it does not happen each session nor even frequently. My T and I have worked on trying to get me grounded and safe before I leave his office. I think you need to go back. You can only suppress the pain and the feelings so long and then will start to leak out in other areas if you don't address them.

Albert Schweitzer "Truly it is in the darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us." Meister Eckhart True North - She actually knows what happened. We have a very close and open relationship with little boundaries. I called her when I pulled over b/c it was all I could think to do.
