I just want to echo what the others have said. Very recently I saw an opening during one of our sessions and while taking the longest pause ever, I knew I needed to get the words-any words -out. He was so patient and I finally said " I had these s-xual experiences as a child". We sat with that-no pressure to give details. It became an incredibly powerful moment and one that brought my dr. and I closer (in the therapeutic sense) together. His response and words during that reveal have been very soothing to my soul. Even though I am not able to explore this further (at this time) I do not for one moment regret sharing. Now, when I am ready to reveal more, I know he is prepared.
I hope that when you are ready, you are able to draw strength knowing that there are others out there who are confronting the same thoughts and fears......
