This is a difficult topic for me to respond to. I feel I am still early in therapy even though it has been a year, therapy takes time. Time is important, do not rush it. It can almost feel like trauma all over again if you do it before you are ready. It all doesn't have to come out in one session, again time is your best friend.
I also have a very difficult time with certain words. Do not even attempt these words, let your T fill in the blanks. She is experienced and will know. Trust your T. She will not force you, she will be gentle and she will know when to stop. Understand and know that no matter what you say she will NOT judge you and she will ALWAYS respect your feeling.
Instinctively you will on do what you can handle.
