Memories of abuse by people I did not know came back after therapy Monday and see therapist in 2 hours. Anxiety sky high. Trying to clean out out things to keep busy, but getting hard.

Good tip LillyPotter, I did this lots. Id have a sheet of paper with the things I wanted to discuss.
1.
2.
3.
4.
As soon as I got some feed back on one Id stop and go to the next. I became vigilant about it. Because I was paying for the session.
I didnt want a counselor/ therapist leading me around by my nose every single time and leaving triggered and destroying several days for me.
At fist my therapist didnt like it. ( even therapist have issues) but i calmly stated why and if that didnt work I calmly found a new therapist that fit better for me.

To add to my post, even if someone is getting help for the cost of the therapy, The therapist still gets payed , and Very well I might add.

I just got tired of walking out in melt down mode.
