You'll open up more when your ready too. You have to build a certain level of trust, no matter how nice the therapist is (niceness doesn't equate trust exactly).
So, how long you been seeing this therapist?
One day, you might just make a commitment to make a small disclosure like I did, and then it goes from there. Wouldn't have worked if my T hadn't shown me trustworthiness though. I also start small, and work my way into larger and more complex issues. Start low, go slow is my motto.
