Don't worry about your t. She's a professional. You are not in charge of making her feel better.
There isn't a timeline on healing. It takes as long as it takes. Be patient with yourself.
Honestly, trauma work may not be necessary. If you are being retraumatized, it isn't doing you any good anyway. What is important is that we understand why we think and behave the way we do NOW. Sure, that will be tied to your past, but that doesn't mean we have to remember everything about our past and we certainly don't need to be retraumatized by past memories.
Instead of focusing on what you haven't done yet, take an inventory of what you have learned about yourself and your behaviors. Those are positives in your therapy. Acknowledge them to yourself. That isn't bragging. That's giving yourself credit for very hard work.
