Granite - remember the therapist is not the person who caused you harm. She will not be angry and will want to know why. Talking to her, even reading what you write, is useful for you. She may wait for you to talk, but she is not going to be angry like the people in your past and she will not punish you. Requiring you to talk is not punishment. Also, you do get to talk and tell her to slow down, or your reaction or whatever you want and she will not punish you.
