Exactly how does healing take place 40 years later? How is talking to my therapist about this going to help at all? I wish I had never brought this up to her......
Your body doesn't lie. I would listen to it.

I'm glad that you realized that you have been trying to invalidate yourself. This is very insightful.

Telling your therapist these things is very healing. Releasing these emotions finally will be a huge healing step. Our bodies were not made to retain emotions.
