I have briefly mentioned these things to my therapist, but I get very upset about them and don't like to talk about them.
The one other time I purged after session was when she made me talk about my dad

This stuff is hard but it is really important to get out. Can you tell your T that you purged after that session and that maybe she shouldn't push you as much?????

Try to remember that your T is on your side and that she isn't your dad. I had to do this a lot during my healing, tell myself that the healthy people in my present were not the people from my past.
