You know, part of what's good about all of this--your therapist's judgement aside--is being aware of your instant guilt over something you didn't cause or seek. My therapist has pointed this out with me, something I did with two recent auto accidents near me (one fatality) that I was not involved with, but because I was there, felt that I had caused them both. If nothing else, it's worth exploring that knee jerk assumption of guilt with your therapist. Maybe that's a way into the conversation?
