Once I'd talked around it, it was easier to talk about it, if that makes sense.

Wow, this sounds so familiar.
I pretty much only talk in codes too. "the little kid stuff", "the thing that happened with [the minister]", "the yucky feelings" (body memories). It's amazing T has any idea what I'm even saying half the time.
I WANT to learn to use the real words, actually. I don't want to be scared by WORDS. But I'm just not there yet.
