First I wrote it and gave it to him in session, or sent emails. Then he would talk about what I wrote and discuss shame and how the shame wasn't mine. He actually did most of the talking in some of those sessions. The first time I really talked about it in any detail, I was actually whispering and he sat next to me on the couch so I didn't have to worry about him looking at me. It very, very slowly gets easier.
