It's hard, but for me if I'm able to get out some stuff, she can usually help with the rest. Like 'What About Bob?' take baby steps, and hopefully your T can guide you.

you're right... it's all about baby steps... but the first baby step is so so so hard... and i don't know how to do it.
i KNOW i need to talk to her about it, but i am so nervous and uncomfortable about this topic, more so than ANYTHING else! i don't know how to take the first step, i don't know what words should leave my lips.
i know people will suggest to just start talking and see what happens, but i am SUCH a planner... and i need to figure out a way to bring this up without sounding crazy. word choice is such a big deal for me. especially because i want to ease into this, not come out with everything. god why is this so hard... i have session tonight, in a few hours actually, so any advice is greatly appreciated because i DO want to mention this, but i don't know HOW
