Does this happen to anyone?

***Mention of CSA***

Hey friends,
I am wondering if this happens to any of you? I'm sure it does, b/c I have read about it before but I just need to ask specifically. After I share something with T that was traumatic regarding CSA, I am so terrified afterward that she will think about what I have told her over and over until she decides she just can't handle hearing anymore, or seeing me anymore. I worry if it is the worst thing she has ever heard. Because if it's not the worst thing, then she can handle it, but if it is the worst thing then it might be her breaking point. She reassures me over and over that she is not going anywhere. Sometimes (like this last time) she teared up when telling me that her heart hurts for me and that she was so angry for the disgusting person that did this. I end up thinking that if what I tell her, makes her heart ache and makes her angry then why would she put herself through that? I don't want to make her heart ache or make her feel angry. My fear is more related to the week in between when I see her again that she will think about the details of and it will too much for her. Even if she believed in the moment of session that she was ok, during the week she may change her mind.

I don't know if this makes any sense?
