Yes, I have gone though this many times. I actually started keeping a diary, so that I would start to see a trend of symptoms. In trauma work, there is a wave of feelings that will come. Internally there will be resistance expressed with suicidal ideation, compulsive behaviors (chemical, eating, sexual, or self mulilation), ambivilence, or keeping really busy. Feelings can range with waves of mania, sadness, despair, terror, anger to rage. It's all just a part of the process of remembering. The main thing to do is nurture yourself, utilize therapeutic expression of emotions, social support, and journal to provide safety through the work.
