Love this topic!
I never have, but used to be very worried about it. Usually, I go to the bathroom immediately before the session so to avoid any issues.
Now that I'm more comfortable with T I'm not as worried. I think once I wasn't feeling well (ate bad gassy stuff) so I told her to expect some fowl moments and to please excuse me when it happened. But it hasn't yet.
Side Note:
A T that I consulted with once did therapy with a dog in the room. I thought that was so cool... until the dog started farting, LOUDLY, during the sessions.
I just looked at it and then at the T and hoped he realized it was the dog and not me

Think my T has farted a couple of times, I find myself go rigid, then I tell myself that T is more than comfortable with all of herself, its my discomfort that I struggle with, but still I ain't that "cured" yet and just prefer to make out I never heard it.
No farts on mine or Ts part but this thread is so freaking hilarious!!! We do talk about poop sometimes...
Her stomach was growling really loudly one time but we weren't weird about it at all. Me: You hungry? T: Yup Me: Me too; and then we continue to watch hilarious YouTube videos

I don't think I've farted in therapy yet. BUT, I've learned from the CD's I have from another somatic T that passing gas is one of the signs of discharge in the nervous system. In other words, it means you're able to relax. So maybe the more comfortable you get with your T the more likely it would be to happen 
LOL BLT!!
I don't think I'd EVER let that happen - I know in nursing and stuff like that people passing gas is a good sign.
My tummy will rumble a lot during somatic stuff my T says that is a sign of relaxing too!

BG,
Yes we do!
not something like oh hey yeah poop whoo but more along the lines of bathroom jokes, constipation references, and other inappropriate stuff like that . It's fantastic!

This thread made me laugh. That is another benefit to bringing my dog to therapy - I can blame any body noises on her. Mind you, I try to feed HER treats that make her non-gassy on T day because it is humiliating when she drops a bomb and I worry the T will think it is me!! This dog can clear a room/car...and has on more than one occasion!
At a psychiatrist appt once (he isn't much of a dog person but lets me bring her), she gets up, points her butt in his direction, "play bows" with butt in the air...and yup....lets out a loud one. I was mortified. He doesn't acknowledge her at all ever, so he had to keep going and pretend nothing happened on that day!

This thread is awesome lol. I can't imagine my therapist doing anything like that. I think its because I've put her in this image of perfection which isn't good really. I forget that she is just human sometimes.
She's so small and dainty though that her farting would probably crack me up or make me feel really awkward. I only imagine her eating cup cakes with fine bone china tea whilst gliding slowly around the garden patio. The fact that she does and experiences all bodily functions as we all do seems to surprise me! :S.
