It sounds like you got a lot out of your experience with that therapist. I think you are not at all alone in finding it stressful; we all start with varying degrees of difficulty in emotional self-regulation and attachment impairments. It can be really hard just being in a therapeutic relationship!
I think it's remarkable that this type of therapy can actually allow our right hemispheres to form the neuronal connections which did not get formed in infancy because of inadequate mothering. Once you've got those connections, you are much better able to moderate your own distress without needing a therapist.
