maybe the lost parts of the session allowed you to work into this emotionally honest state...so valuable in the end. I will tell you that when I started therapy I had no intention of talking about the past, the abuse, any of it. I never had before, never thought it was important to my life. And look where I am now. And I did it sort of like you started...I dropped out that there was something to tell, and then it took me a few sessions to get it out.
It speaks to the trust you have in your therapist that you might tell him this secret. I also have to wonder as you begin to think about termination, if this isn't the "last" thing you might need to do with your therapist. It is showing its importance in some way...either proving you aren't done, aren't ready to leave therapy, or maybe it is a last string to be tied up.
Either way, I'm sorry you spent so much time worrying about it over the past week. It is awful, those flop out of the mouth bombs. I'd lend you my time machine if I had one.
Take good care.
