During a crisis, we often shut off emotions and don't feel them. At the time, it helps us to get through the crisis. Later, though, you still have to work through and feel those emotions, and it can seem like it just comes out of the blue. It wasn't that it didn't bother you back then. It probably bothered you more than you could handle, so you turned it off. And now that you are safe, it comes back in small enough chunks to be processed. It's normal for that to happen, but if it is causing you a lot of distress, more therapy can help you. I'm not sure how much you dealt with this issue in your therapy, and you might need to work on your trauma more directly.
