What Tay just said would explain why your t is taking the time to go through those skills with you. While it may seem frustrating to you, those skills are vital, and since you had a recent suicide attempt, it is important to reestablish those skills. Even though you may have been through the skills before, clearly they needed to be taught again and reviewed before any trauma work can be done.

My trauma work didn't take anywhere near 12 weeks either. I was ready and safe when it was done and it didn't take going over and over the trauma to heal. As they say, "There's more than one way to skin a cat."
