Don't feel bad about taking more time when coming to terms with this and talking about this. There is no set time. So your therapist I believe was in the wrong for telling you that. There is no set time in therapy at all. There is no deadline.

It took me 8 yrs of therapy ect to heal, some people it takes shorter, some people much much longer. Everyone needs to go at their own pace, and do what is most comfortable for them. Recovery is a slow process, again there is no set time, no deadline for recovery.

I felt a sense of release once I got all my problems out and talked about it. It was painful, it was hard, it was stressful and it did give me alot of triggers and flashbacks, but getting out in the long run does help. Writting it out has helped me as well, I've been doing that for 8 years with my psychiarist and had her read things, I still do that and it gets it out on the table. When you meet your therapist about this is going to be stressful, but at the end of the session i'm sure that you will be glad to get it out. It will feel like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. Don't look at this as a negative then, but a postive thing, steps towards recovery.
