It is hard to see people on a regular basis that have hurt you. I've been dealing with that for my whole life. I live within a mile of one person who abused me when I was a child and another who repeatedly set me up to be abused when I was a teen.
I think it's a great idea that you are going to discuss this with your therapist. The act of talking about may be the beginning of processing it and moving beyond it.
Good luck and hugs!
