You are dealing with a lot! First of all, congratulations on the baby! Next, school sounds like it is weighing you down. You have probably already discussed this with your professors, but can you negotiate your assignments so that you can have fewer pieces of work count more towards your grade? I would explain that you feel overwhelmed and need help managing everything. Perhaps you could take an incomplete in one or two of the classes and focus on finishing the others?
It seems a little much for your new T to be talking about processing the trauma right now--you have a lot of other things going on in your life that need to be managed if you are going to face the trauma with strength. Like, maybe she can help you focus for right now on containing the emotions and managing the symptoms, or even on working with you and your fiancee to help you get through this stressful time.
I don't have any children, but I wonder if you feel like you are in the last legs of a marathon!
