Sorry this happened :-(
I wonder if your T just gives you lotsa empathy whether that might break the dam that holds stuff back? Y'know, talks to about how bad she feels for the child that was hurt, how confused she must have been, how kid got bad feelings and she needn't cuz it weren't her fault etc etc, and then maybe things'll break loose? I hope this isn't triggering....I just have such control most of the time, but then I fall apart :-(
But you remind me of me Poet, in that you ARE one tough cookie. And I know you will be able to work thru this sh*t and improve your life. Make it more comfortable.
I dunno if you split at all? Sorry, can't remember, but I think it helps greatly if you can make sure all your ways are in some sort of agreement.
Then,
UGH.
I dunno, I sorta like you , I can't say. Though I got nothing to say anyways, but my kid wants to cry and be comforted, but she not allowed. Thats what I think anyways.
NO TOUCH. NO CRY.
My T has been reassuring me ALOT, that T IS so hard, the hardest thing. That I am brave cuz I not running away, or if I do, I come back. She says I am working hard and trying hard and its all super scarey, but that we can work together, that I have made progress....
Its all so hard, hang in there Poet.
Emotions DO pass.
Emotions are just emotions, they not living things.
Try and be extra nice to yourself, amd kind to yourself, and phone T as need be.
