Therapy is the hardest work you'll ever do. I remember so well digging through my own mud and silt and coming up with memories that were normal for me, but, as you said, if you saw them happening to another child - I'd almost be willing to kill someone to prevent a child going through that. I offer my sympathy and my support. What you're doing is good work. From someone who got through it and came out the other side - there is a whole beautiful, safe, happy world out here.
(And I agree with your therapist, you're not fucked up. The simple fact that you're willing to learn the tools to improve your life shows that you're not fucked up. People who are truly fucked up don't realized it and wouldn't do anything to change, even if they did.)
