Advice on getting rid of lingering physical emotion after a scene?

I've heard this is an issue for other actors but in decades of acting I didn't have it until now. I was just in a scene where I was screaming and running around in pure terror; it didn't help that the fear was of something I'm actually petrified of (yay...
