That sounds like a wonderful session, hangingon. And your T sounds wonderful--very committed to creating a safe space for you and not pushing.

I experienced something similar. When we first started doing trauma work, I recalled a lot of things out of the blue, things I hadn't remembered for many years, maybe even since they happened. T told me it is common when people begin this sort of work and are ready to be healed (and feel safe), the memories just line up, one by one, waiting to be processed. He was very trusting of me and the process--that those memories were coming up in me for a reason, and he would help me work through them. He followed my lead and the memories I brought to him each time. Sometimes the things I recalled seemed to have no relation to anything, but it turned out later it all made sense. T was good at helping me to trust in the process and trust in my inner voice. It sounds to me like your T is also very trusting of you and comfortable with the process and willing to work with it. She sounds really great.
Oh, and congratulations on the capping! You are almost done--then a new chapter begins.
