Thanks for all the support. I read over each of your replies and understand where each person is coming from.

I do think my therapist needs to slow down a bit. I can handle some emotional pain afterwards, but there's no use going through torment just because we went over too many things. I do think there's no need for that, as long as progress is being made. I also don't take good care of myself during these periods. I might just not have the coping skills to handle so much memory-loading.

On the other hand, my emotional pain after sessions is lessening, so the worst of it seems to be over.

I think I'll be okay for now. I'll just keep track of how much "bad" stuff we covered and if I can handle it later during sessions. I do think we covered too many things at once during sessions, which put me in too bad of a mood than necessary.
