It can actually be destructive to push yourself to talk about trauma in more detail than you are ready to do. Not all therapists understand all of how trauma affects you, and it has been standard treatment to encourage people to talk through it. But, as you are finding out, there are side effects, like reliving the trauma. It is ok to say that you just need to stop for now.
