Do you think it would help to slow down on the discussion of trauma? It seems to be overwhelming you -or contributing to overwhelm- and the idea is to keep it within a window of tolerability, so that this doesn't happen. You also haven't been seeing him for very long, so I wonder if you could establish a more solid relationship and work on regulating emotion some more before continuing, or at least continuing at this pace? Maybe you can concentrate on here and now issues for a while?
