(((((( Tree ))))))) Actually, YES! This is EXACTLY what trauma healing is like!
You were safe enough to allow yourself to emotionally process THROUGH the trauma trigger. You did not run from the feelings. You did not use any self destructive behavior to avoid or mask the pain. You were DOING it the exact right way!! And you reached out to your T and did what you knew would keep you safe in the NOW as you walked through it.

I am certain your T will be very proud of you for doing the work you just did.
That is so awesome in ways I can't explain because it is seeing a perfect example of how T showed me the trauma work was going when I did it. I was feeling the guilt for emailing him "so much" because stuff would trigger me at every turn. T told me that is exactly what I needed to do - just feel the triggers, understand why I was triggered, allow myself to BE in the feeling when it was going on (feelings don't harm us - even though they can be rough). And you did all this!!! This is just SOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!
