It feels like I am about at the end of the trauma work.
The only thing I still have not faced is the pain caused to me by my father. I want to address my father, but will never do it IRL as I have already tried but he makes excuses and such.

I was thinking about my next session Monday with T. Sometimes he has me talk to an empty chair or sit in the other chair and talk to the me in my normal chair. I want to visualize my dad sitting in the chair T and I never use and I want to tell him my mind. I tried to do this on my own but nothing happened and it just felt stupid. I think I need T to hear me say things to my dad. But I am very afraid inside of doing this.

I was wondering if anyone has addressed their abuser in session this way?
Did it help you or make matters worse? Any suggestions?
