as I went on slowing telling things one at a time soon I was able to tell two things then three things then four things....

I also practiced saying it in a mirror to myself. and writing it out.

Did the therapist guide you in this? I have a little girl who want to just start talking. We are all trying to settle down so she can but I think she will just burst with thoughts. One of my concerns is the she will flood us with too much information. She is little and I am not sure she will have the insight to go slowly. I think this is one of the reasons we are so concerned with the emotions attached with the events. I don't know what happened and won't until she lets us know.
