I am a little confused what she means by 'done enough'. IMO, the comment seems judgmental and subjective. What's enough for one person may not be enough for another person.
I'm not sure what theoretical orientation your therapist is, but my bare minimum requirement for a therapist is to sit there and let me talk about whatever I want to talk about, for as long as I need to talk about it for, without judgment. I think a very important part of therapy is getting out things we've been keeping inside. I don't see anything wrong with having your history validated at all!
This would be a great discussion to have with your therapist. It would be good to understand where she's coming from with her commentary, and the perfect time to align on therapy goals.
