Newfie, it could be that you are doing what I did and emotionally dissociating from your trauma. I numbed myself for over 10 years and now I am getting flooded with memories and feelings. For therapy to be effective you have to be connected to the emotions that you felt around the trauma. If you're just reporting what happened to you, sure, therapy will feel pointless.
If you think this is what is happening I encourage you to let a therapist know. Numbing, for me, had horrible consequences. I got to where I had no emotions, good or bad, just a horrible, gnawing emptiness punctuated by moments of rage. I became suicidal and was hospitalized multiple times.
If you feel like you processed all your trauma, great. If you know you didn't, don't let what happened to me happen to you. I lost all my good relationships because of it.
