Melba, just allow yourself to share with T the thoughts. Don't say yes or no to them ... just allow them to come out as they are - do not filter them. I understand what you describe about trying to say they were not true. That is something which only hurts us - when we try to say what was fact and what was not. I know that by experience. The secret is that they hold emotional truth - even if the details are not exact. There is something that they are trying to show us about the situation. It is emotion which impacts this NOW.
Just be open and treat the images with the same respect you would treat the images a stranger was showing you. If that makes any sense.
