It sounds like, that by starting with the game, she is trying to start v e r y slowly. It's possible that she felt that it's too early (before you trust her and knowing that it's going to be very difficult to do that at the outset) to dive into this. But I can see from your perspective that you might need to do this *in order* to be able to trust.
I think, though, you're going to have to tell her how you feel in person. A lot of therapists really prefer to talk things through -especially the most intense and difficult things- in person, which doesn't mean she responding in person to what you wrote, but you expressing to her in person what you feel and she responding to that.
I think this is going to be a slow process and it's going to be hard to trust her. I know you feel vulnerable about the e-mail, but maybe think of it as that she has it, read it, gets it, is holding it for you, for a time when you feel more comfortable talking to her about it.
What did you talk about while you were playing the game? Did it help a little as an ice breaker?
