Getting EMDR Hangover a week after my last session

Bit of a weird experience for me here, I've been doing EMDR for about 5-6 weeks now for CPTSD and it's been absurd how big a difference it's made to my general anxiety levels, however I had my last session on Tuesday last week and didn't really feel much of anything for a couple of days, then on thursday after work I had quite a bad panic attack out of the blue, and my breathing muscles tensed up quite tight.

I've had this happen a few times after panic attacks, but it normally settles after a day or so, this time that tightness continued a whole week, and I had that kind of shortness of breath feeling the whole time. Well today it finally released and I got hit with what feels like some of the EMDR hangover episodes I've dealt with in the past, feeling tired, sore, a bit dissociated and got a bit of a pressure headache.

Wondering if anyone else has ever had something similar happen, was my body just struggling to process and took a while to let go?

Glasgow City Council back demolishing section of the M8 Motorway that goes through the city centre

Article on the subject

The motorway was an absolute blight that was built in the 60s and is effectively the only motorway of it's kind in the UK because it had such a negative effect on the city centre, demolishing a tonne of historical districts and cutting off the city centre from the west end of the city.

There's long been plans to try demolish this section of motorway, but the problem is it's one of the busiest roads in the UK and diverting the traffic elsewhere would be difficult. However, the government have been dealing with absurd maintainence costs of the city centre region for a long time now, what was built in the 60s wasn't prepared to handle the sheer volume of traffic it gets these days, so the council are trying to scrap it to save money.

This will be a massive boon for residents of the city proper if it happens, but probably a major negative for the commutes of a lot of the residents more suburban population. Tbh though, I'm happy to let them suffer to get rid of this road.
