I am in 90+ minute sessions and this is new to me, I did not know the sessions were to be so long and I was surprised to find it more effective, but it may be the style or method used by this T.
I may leave tired, but always in less distress then when the session starts.

One day he said I was 'fleeing' and invited me to sit and practice the mindful breathing, I said the time is up? He said he had time.
I could have left but chose to 'do the work'.
It took an extra 20 minutes and I felt no pressure to hurry up and move out of the way.

With more time there is developing a natural flow of (my words) energy, effort and regrouping and time to think/feel , and of course this is helpful for my trust issues. He being 'male' is the exposure therapy.
He teaches mindfulness concepts, I can 'practice' real time coping skills during the week between appointments in preparation for specific CSA work coming up soon.

griffinp; being brave is doing what is scary.

Now a days you can tell your story and the T will believe you and be supportive.
In the late 80's I went to a doctor as memories returned and was told I was just having stress from school., I went to a Psychologist in the eary 90's and 7 session (funding ran out) with hypnosis I was 'cured'.

Now I am in the care of a great team and it is time to learn to live rather than to avoid. Not that I had not tried and asked for help before.

Hopefully this my story is helpful for you to in this difficult time.
