So, it sounds like you really just want to release the pain somehow. I definitely get this, and I understand what you mean by fear. This is how I was and still am with disclosing to my t about past abuse. The sharing was good to begin with, but now I fear that I am going to have to talk about it again always keeps me on guard during therapy. I guess I need to bring this up next session.
Maybe you can journal and take this in when you meet with your t. Then you can deal with the emotions even if these aren't fresh.
