Hi GG,
It's so distressing to have an emotional reaction to something that you can't find the cause for. What I can't deal with is locked in my box of pain. Maybe you can try to lock your fear up? At least until you have worked through other issues?
My therapist would agree with yours that I (or you) shouldn't go chasing what you can't remember.
I have what can only be called a definite maybe for physical abuse inflicted by my brother when I was a baby. There really is no way of getting an answer, my mother always told me that I fell and hurt myself. Though she was not in the room when I *fell.* My brother was.
As my T said, today, the ER would have called child protection if a baby came in with injuries like I had. What I have to try to keep locked in the box is the *maybe.*
Maybe try locking up your *maybe?* I'm going to put the *maybe* back in my box right now. I have enough things I do remember to work on in therapy.
(((((GG))))))
