Therapy session help today

I went to a new therapist who specializes in art therapy. I have seen her 3 times now and this last time I felt like I really told her the deep and specific problems I have been struggling with for the past 35 years of my life. She really listened and offered support and hope. She took notes on me and provided feedback that was very gentle and helpful. Although I have been diagnosed by psychiatrists with Schizophrenia and Bipolar...this might not be accurate and they don't have a complete history of me. For instance, days before I was hospitalized, I was raped twice. Doctor's didn't give me any screenings or exams for this, they never asked if this happened. FAIL. Also, my therapist helped pull out details of what I struggle with...like very specific examples. I believe if I keep opening up and sharing with her my real and true struggles without shying away or pulling away out of fear, that I will be able to lessen the load I carry and also get help with how to deal and manage with these various problems.
