Yes, it will be ok. You don't have to tell your T right now. Wait until you're ready. And you'll do it when you are ready. I remember when I first started T I could barely talk and I certainly couldn't say anything that happened to me. I would sit there for a whole session almost without saying anything, and maybe get out one or two sentences of what happened. So I think it's good that you're talking at all, even in a round-about way, and I bet your T does too.
You'll be ok. Deep breaths. I know how it feels to feel little. It's a scary place to be in. I can't do it yet, but can the adult part of you comfort the little girl part and tell her she will be ok and that you will keep her safe now, that no one's going to hurt her?
I think it's important to tell ourselves that we are ok and safe now and can take care of ourselves. And to try to snuggle in a blanket or do something soothing. I have a stuffed animal I cling to like it's the only thing that can help me when I feel little.
