I think you're doing really well, only 8 months of therapy, and that at every 2 weeks?
I disagree with asking for more time. You are already reeling from the information you are trying to process, and you want to pile more onto it? What you might do is tell the T that you are quite affected by what goes on in the therapy session. A good discussion as to whether it is bearable and therapeutic, or possibly retraumatizing instead, will let your T know whether to slow down or whether your sessions are "just right."
Don't push. Going slower is fastest usually. When you push for more than what the brain can process (in the realm of trauma) you often find yourself reacting and not being able to move ahead in therapy, but spend valuable time recovering from the push instead.
You're doing well I think. TC!
