Cricket, welcome to babble.
My therapist likes to use the word "heal". We've talked many times about how old all this is (30 yrs. ago for me)and how I think I should just have "gotten over it" which is what I did most of my life. I know why it has been triggered now, and most days I "know" I have to go through it to come out on the other side. That doesn't mean I don't wonder frequently if it wasn't so much better tied up in that box in the mind's attic.
It is hard. You will need support. But you aren't alone and it is very typical to have these feelings, even as much as 2 years into therapy. If you trust your therapist and think you are working well together, I say it is money well spent. On the other hand, if you feel like you've gone as far as you can go with her, maybe it is time to reevaluate things.
I hope you keep posting here. You will probably find lots of support around this.
Daisy
