The important thing to remember about working through trauma is that it's a process. It's not usually like you wake up determined to do it, have a few sessions, and you're done. That thing where you cried when you saw how the past and present were connected? That's trauma work. Avoiding it the next week, that's part of it, too. After the bigness of the emotion the prior session, maybe you needed to take a break from it. You can go back to it (or not) whenever it feels right.

Whenever I waffle with T and say, I want to do it but it's too scary, I can't! He says, "You are doing it." Just being scared of doing it is part of working with it.

I'm glad you've found someone you feel you can trust!
