My therapist used to make the therapy room really hot and he told me there were benefits to heat so I can see where this research is coming from... I used to call it Bikram Psychotherapy lol. The more heavy emotions I was trying to process, and actually working thru my stuff, the more I'd sweat. It was a great physiological indicator that told me that I was really doing the work. Even in a breezy room I saw clients sweating a lot when we were doing deep work... so whatever the mechanism, it's a sign of some natural healing process.
