Hi LM. Maybe you could just have a talk with Trent. It can certainly be done politely ad respectfully.

Maybe it could go something along the lines of this:

I am so glad to get to know you and I know you have some really important things that you want to share with me. I know how important those things are, and when we talk about them together I know I will need to give you my full attention and care.
I know you wish you could tell me those things right now, but right now I am not quite ready to hear them. That doesn't mean I don't want to, and it doesn't mean they are not important - it means they are SO important that I want to be sure I am ready to help you with them in the best possible way. I want to be strong enough to give you the support, care, time and attention that I know both of us will need when you share your stories.
In the meantime i still very much want you around. I'd love for us to keep talking and getting to know each other better. I'd like to learn about what makes you smile, what makes you feel safe and cared for, what makes you afraid. Knowing more about each other will help us support each other when we get around to talking about the tuff stuff. I know you've been hiding around in the shadows for a long time and I am so grateful that you've found the courage to come forward. I am so glad you're here! Do you think you can be patient with me while I now gather my courage to hear about the things you need to tell me?
