How Visceral? (TW--bodily functions)

[Blueberry]

Yes, she told me it is especially common for survivors of SA.

That's really interesting. In my first inpatient stay 20-odd years ago where there was a lot of physical expression of suppressed emotional memories, I did a lot of dry retching. Nothing came up except noise. Other patients: "Wow! It really sounds as if you're vomiting but there's nothing coming out!" For me at the time, it actually felt good. I almost enjoyed it - it was a relief somehow. That was the first place I ever mentioned there'd been CSA in my childhood.

Thanks to all for the information, some from your Ts, on this thread. I may come back to it when I have more time.
