Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

The problem is that this reminder caused you to be frightened. I am not simplifying it, because I am not a trained therapist, but it COULD be said that being frightened by a memory is something that does not need to be. Being frightened of something actually happening IS something that needs to be.
You are understandably and forgiveably unable to get your head around that right now. With your therapist's help and your own reasoning, you will be able to do that.
I am sorry you have been hurt. The fix to a hurt is healing, and I am sure you will do just that. Good luck to you ... I am glad you posted your feelings.
Good luck with your session on Wednesday :)
HUGS!
