There is a book that I found helpful, (and yeah, I know I'm always recommending books, but since I'm without a T they are the next best thing- lol!) it's called "Toxic Parents: Overcoming their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life" by Susan Forward. Your T might be familiar with it, and would know if it might be helpful for you, too.
I know that you said in your post that you are at university, so probably don't want the expense of buying more books- maybe the library where you are might have it; or Amazon have got quite a few second hand copies... it is very good, and helped me to learn ways of diffusing situations- or at least I now recognise when I'm being triggered by events and can try to step back from the situation.
