<font color="green">I don't think you were wrong to insist on returning to a subject you were not ready to turn loose. Maybe ask your therapist why he feels so uncomfortable with this.
I had a therapist who triggered me into a huge flashback and dissociation; I left her office and drove a couple miles without recalling any of it. 8 years later, I still don't recall what happened but have recovered enough to know she had somehow reminded me of my mother. 
Eventually we did do EMDR for my issues with the old therapist. I was tired of triggering whenever I thought of her and my therapist felt I deserved to be able to use and enjoy using the good things the old therapist had taught us. I like being able to remember the good times and not dwell on the painful stuff.</font>
