Dry heaving

[Aideun32]

After flooding in order to deal with intrusive thoughts and overbearing memories and feelings, i had found myself dry heaving as a reaction to the disgust i felt. Has anyone else come across something like that?

Physical reactions to trauma memories can be quite common.

I haven't had this reaction personally but maybe others have?

 

[shimmerz]

Yes. With particularly disturbing flashbacks or memories. When I throw up or dry heave I try to picture whatever it is that is hitting me as 'coming out' rather than allowing it to stay in me.

The interesting thing is that I normally can't remember what the memory was once I have purged.

 

[Deadman]

Yes. I've done it.

I sometimes throw up in my mouth a few times when I dissociate.

For sure. Shakes. Shits. Pukes. Superfun. :wtf:

Don't you just hate loosing control of your body,
