Oh she sounds like a keeper to me!

There isn't much good to continue to ruminate through the same scenarios and such. Once the main reactive process is understood, tis enough, imo. That you are understandably reactive to bringing all these memories up to the table to view also means that too much can be a bad thing. Slowing down the memory flow is in your own best interest, and I would trust your T even more now, for realizing the impact it's had on you.

Once basic patterns have been displayed, then the various events in memory don't really need to be revisited over and over. Learning how to view the events, sorting through a few often is enough to allow yourself (your brain) to work through similar ones and file them away accurately, so they don't upset you each time you "bring them out."

It's also possible that by bringing memories to the light and then backing away from them for awhile allows your unconscious to continue to work through some things that you don't have to consciously endure.
