I knew you would figure it out. I've been away but following your threads.
So I have to ask -- what does "holding you through it" look like to you? Are you wanting her to physically hold you, or are you talking the emotional stuff?
I've talked with my therapist about doing this work with a woman or a man, given my issues with my mother. He always says he things the gender of the therapist ultimately doesn't matter as much as the connection the two people can make. But as you noted, the length of time changes. It would have taken me so much longer to break through if I needed to keep proving to a woman (my mother) that I was strong enough to deal with it and not cry.
I'm glad you had a great session. You are really amazing.
