Doesn't anyone know what I mean?
Does anyone else remember bad things that happened to you in pieces?
How do you deal with that?
I could call her, but DD and grandson are coming over.
I've got to put on the "I'm ok" face. Maybe I will call her tomorrow.
I'm still so sad and angry.

I don't know if it's ever possible for anyone to know exactly and understand perfectly another's experience. Even if they were right there with you they would experience the situation in their own way...
That doesn't mean your T can't care deeply for you, and empathize with you.
I remember reading somewhere that the emotional brain doesn't really understand time. Things just happen, and memories of years ago can seem as real as things from yesterday. It's about what comes to the forefront of your mind... Confusing, but then emotions are. Talking about them brings the logical brain into play, and makes them manageable...
Can find a minute to talk to your T before your family come, or maybe even send a text or an email?
