Its good that your parents are calling a counsellor tomorrow. No one expects you to feel you can trust her straight away if it is a counsellor you do not know. But hopefully you will feel comfortable enough to share some things. See how it goes and do not worry about it. Its not an exam. She is there to help you in your pace. Remeber that.
As for have a girls night or watching a film - it is only 'blocking it' if you do it all the time or most of the time and avoid talking about the issues. If you are doing this in moderation - watching a film today and the day after tomorrow meeting with a friend lets say - it allows you to have some 'free time' from thinking about what happened and get your resources. Do you see what I mean? I am a great believer in doing something good for yourself at least once a day. Something that makes you feel good. Like eating ice cream or watching a film or having a nice bath or walking in the park with your dog or listening to your music. You need to be good to yourself. Do not punish yourself further honey!
I hug you xxx
