It depends what you mean by adding to your trauma. If you are talking about abandonment or re-traumatising acts, then I agree. However, experiencing a painful aspect of the therapeutic relationship (with the opportunity to process) is not traumatic - that's adult life, albeit complex and unpleasant.
