I can relate to the difficulty in talking in therapy. I have a tendency to shut down whenever we touch on something painful. I freeze and then simply cannot find the words. It's as if my body disconnects from my brain and I'm empty.

I echo what Echoes suggested (LOL)....Talking about the difficulty in talking about it is a good start. As a matter of fact, I just might talk to my T about that today because last week, I was very disconnected. T even asked me mid-session, "Are you going to stay checked out of this conversation?" Talking about the problem of not being able to talk can lead to some important awareness.
