I wrote it down on paper and gave it to her (my T). I took a big breath, told myself to be brave and just did it. I have the same fears you have. I just did this last Thursday. I'm still rather disconnected from the feelings of it, but I wanted to run straight out of that room. I do however feel a relief and like I can move on now. If your therapist is not pushy, he/she won't push and will let you take it at your own pace. For whatever reason, mine is quite pushy. I'm not sure why, maybe that's what I need - seems to be.
I've been mostly worried about what she thinks, what her reaction would be, etc. She was great about it - wonderful reaction. I have worried following the session, but I have tried to keep my mind occupied and distracted. For whatever reason, it has been more of a relief these past few days than anything.
