Hi Zoo,
Sorry you're in so much pain from the trauma processing. I can understand that overwhelmed feeling! In my case, I simply could not just "power through" it. We had to break down the trauma work into smaller pieces, so that i could process it and "do life" without breaking down. There just was no other way to do it. We were trying to take too much at a time, and i was decompensating. We didn't stop the trauma processing, but we've broken it into smaller, more manageable chunks. We've had to intersperse it with regular sessions at times when the pain has gotten too bad to function.
I hope you will be able to stress to your t how you feel, and to ask her to help you make the trauma processing less traumatic and overwhelming.
