I've also e-mailed my T saying, "There is something I have been putting off saying because it feels too hard, but by telling you I'm going to say it I'm trying to commit myself to it." That way he reminds me the next time that I said I would talk about it. Sometimes you need to take baby steps... start by talking about talking about it.

Great idea! I forgot I did this. When I first brought up abuse, I emailed him and was like there is something we NEED to talk about, and I can't leave until I tell you. He did his therapist magic, and worked it out of me. Maybe you can try that?
