For me, the arousal is mostly vaginal, though there is a whole body response to the fear. Everything is heightened, even the air seems charged. It is a sexual arousal, although I've read that fear can cause the same kind of arousal energy. And so can anger.
The other thing that happens to me is that when I feel a memory, the room narrows and the edges go fuzzy. I need my therapist's voice to pull me back down, and sometimes even that doesn't work.
