I found that burying the pain didn't make it go away. Hard as it is, I'm finding that facing up to things and actually feeling the pain and anger is helping to resolve them.
It sure hasn't gone away yet, and I doubt if it ever will. But I'm finding that I have a right to feel that way and valid reasons for anger - and just knowing that helps.
I'm also finding that I can be a little assertive now, which should go along way towards avoiding future pain.
It sounds like your therapy is helping you a lot, too. Maybe a little too much and it's hard to assimilate. Perhaps instead of quitting you should consider a vacation for a month or two?
