It seems that you weren't successful because you weren't able to really get down to work on the issues. Your T said "stop what". He probably has no idea what is going on in your head. If you want to work on a trigger a very clear conversation needs to occur with your T.

In September, I brought up the idea of leaving therapy. He knew I was being triggered. I had asked for his help. Neither of us were successful in figuring it out.
When he said, stop WHAT? He was referring to conversations where I felt reminded. Once we had the opportunity to process, he realized how his responses were perceived negatively by me. Most of them were very similar. I would share some insight (usually about myself), he would acknowledge. Then, he would respond as if I didn't know, never shared, etc... I know this may sound SO trivial (and specific) for some but, literally, it's how it worked. Over time, I began to self deprecate. I feel stupid, mentioning it.
