Could it be that after 10 days without him and relearning how to cope on your own, that it was jolting to go back to sharing in therapy? That could be part of why it feels like starting over. You also said that this journal was the same experience but reported by a different part of you, so that could also feel new.
I'm dredging through similar material for the first time, and it seems relieving, frightening, pointless, and healing all at the same time.
If it seemed relieving to you to call and cancel, maybe something is telling you to slow down or take a break. I don't know; did you discuss it with him? Every time I have a hard session, I want to call and quit. It's that push/pull thing as I learn to find middle ground and safe ways to share.
I wish I had better advice; just know that I understand. Give us an update soon, OK?
