Someone who wants to get better would tell her therapist this. I think that you did a great job here.

Or, is this just part of therapy? Bringing out buried emotions. Being triggered in a situation that takes me back to things from my past?

My theory is that you are such an expert at suppressing all of your emotions that this is what is causing your BP symptoms and that once you work through all of this your BP symptoms will be gone.
Suppressing emotions is not healthy and our body responds to this added stress biochemically.

I can see how you would feel both.

That is why I don't disturb things. I ignore then, avoid them, hide from them. I run away! I push the fear and emotions so far down that I hope I never find them!

This stuff needs to be stirred up. This is how you get better.........
