First post -- anxious to get feedback. A little background: I've been seeing my t for a little over a year. She's helped me through a lot and is watching me get and stay sober.

Today she helped me process an event that happened nearly 10 years ago. But as the anniversary of said event is this weekend, I always find myself reliving the thoughts and emotions I felt back then. Usually these thoughts are manageable, but as I have less than 90 days sober, they're jeopardizing my ability to stay sober. So I wanted to talk everything over, and we did. She said it made her angry and upset about how the situation -- how I, as a human being -- was handled. And then she started to tear up and nearly cried.

I'm touched at her kindness and compassion. I'm grateful she's sticking up for me and my best interests, even though its after the fact and neither of us can change what happened. Except now I don't know how to handle the fact that she nearly cried. Don't get me wrong -- I think she is amazing and I am so grateful for how she's helped me.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? What did you do to handle it?
