This is a complete off-topic right now in this thread. If you want to discuss it then please start another thread and I will gladly discuss it you.

Who are you to tell in certain terms what OP should do? I understand that you haven't experienced good psychotherapy yourself and this may make you believe that such thing doesn't exist. Go ahead, it is your right to believe it.
It is obvious that in order to do this "child part" work the therapist must be good enough. I have no idea whether OP's therapy is good enough. There is a simple way to find it out. Just try opening up in that level and if the therapist responds inappropriately then unfortunately yes, stopping with this therapist is probably the best possible option.
However, I think it would be unwise to stop if there are chances that the therapist is good enough because stopping means taking away from oneself the options to work through this pain and heal some wounds. Because I assume that people are in therapy not just for fun but they have pains and traumas they want to heal from.
