I don't the therapy per se did this, but some of the issues that have come up in therapy lately may be preoccupying you.
It is very hard to wrap your brain around some of the things that parents can do to children. It is only natural, I think, that you would be very very angry, confused and a little dazed when you really start to deal with it.
For me, it was like I was going through the stages of grief and - like you - kind of got locked in the anger phase. There is absolutely positively no excuse for what happened to us. I just don't know what else to say.
For me, also came the realization that things weren't ALL bad when I was a kid - and then balancing that anger with the strong desire to cling to the good things really set me off balance for several months.
It's okay.
During this time I think it is SOOOOO important that you take really good care of yourself. You have to be very brave and allow yourself to work through this, but coupled with that you have to nurture yourself as well.
So you get lost, so you skipped lunch, so you cry at the drop of a hat - it's okay.
You will process it and you will come out the other side.
Sending good nurturing thoughts your way
