severe reaction during therapy

I am curious. Has anyone had a severe reaction during therapy? While I was hospitalized for the PTSD I was working in the 'anger room', where you go to make anger statements against your perpetrators and you whack at a punching bolster with a plastic bat. And every emotion you have is raw and exposed. They called what happened a 'body memory'. I can't find any real information on it. Does anyone know anything about this?

that happened to me when i was younger and went to therapy for my first rape...it was just me and my therapist and i had one of the worst flashbacks i can remember having in my lifetime. it really felt so real that i began punching and fighting back and screaming so loud that security from the building was called in to handle me *which of course two men trying to "contain me" just made everything more heightened*
i believe this was because my therapist pushed me too hard too soon into retelling my rape story (after only 2 weeks of every other day sessions) and my body and mind just weren't ready. needless to say that was the last time i saw that therapist and i heard that two months later she had her license revoked..hm?? fishy? i think so...

Yes, they pushed very hard while I was in the hospital too. I knew the hopsitalization wouldn't be easy and that it is more accelerated than my weekly therapy. That's why I went, si I could get it all out, and have a safe environment to do it in. But, I felt them. Everything was like I was there and they were there, and the room disappeared. It was like there was no background to what was happening, but what was happening wasn't. It was all very confusing. I understand and move forward better when things make sense. This one doesn't.
