Yes, it did help to hear it from her. But what really really helped, was having the conversation. Sharing my pain, my fears, my longing --- all those emotions that you feel silly about --- that is what needs to be brought forward. That is when we can begin to feel some relief --- and I do mean "some". Therapy is still hard, and still painful at times, but I am continually trying to put those feelings into words. I know how hard and funny it feels. Please try to share them. She won't think it is funny or silly. She will help you. Give her the chance to tell you how she feels.
My T is psychodynamic and keeps firm boundaries so I didn't expect her to say much. But she did. So I am glad I put myself out there and she in kind, responded.

Keep sharing.
