are you familiar with doing any inner child or 'parts' work? you can approach this by listening too, acknowledging, and providing comfort for the younger part(s) of yourself by reassuring the younger Lrad123 that what they are feeling is ok and perfectly normal considering the circumstances, but no matter what your T has done to make them feel this way that you are here to help keep them safe.
a good book to read in regards to healing those younger parts of ourselves who have suffered from early trauma and neglect is this one by trauma therapist Janina Fisher, "Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors":
