free, when I first started with my T, I began recovering memories of my childhood that had been suppressed. (Usually the forgotten memories would occur to me at home, not in his office.) I had actually not remembered these awful things for decades. T and I worked on these things with EMDR. I asked him why I would remember these things now and never before, and he said it is because I am in therapy now, and they are ready to come out. They are just lining up, waiting to be dealt with. They come out when the time is right. We were doing EMDR therapy and I guess maybe my unconscious realized that here was a therapy that could help with these awful things, and here was a man who could be trusted, so voila, traumatic memories come out! He said it is very common.

It must be very frustrating for the flashbacks to come and your T shunts them aside. Please talk to her about this and why she does not want to work on your childhood flashbacks. This is very important! It sounds like you have several flashbacks that have occurred at the end of sessions. How about taking one of those flashbacks and beginning the session with those memories? That way, your T can't use the time as an excuse to not deal with them. At the very least you need an explanation from her of why she won't work with you on these memories.
