Kerrie,
I think the unconscious has its own timetable and no matter what, eventually these sad things that happened would have surfaced. But you are right, therapy does make us more aware and feel worse before we feel better.
I'm sorry your therapist is defensive. He seems to want you to really look at things in the harsh light of day and understand why he is doing what he is doing. But if you can't tolerate that, if it is taking you to the edge, then it isn't safe.
It does sound like you need more constant care and an inpatient place might be the answer. Or a daily out-patient group. Is there one near you that you could get in to?
I hope things calm down and you can find a few peaceful moments this weekend. You sound like you need the rest.
