I saw my T for 7 months before I finally did more than hint at what the trauma was that I was seeking therapy for. Even then, I sent it to her via text message with the comment that I didn't want her to call e to talk about it. We very briefly touched on it over the next couple of weeks, then I would change the subject. Since then, I have told her more, as specific incidents from THE EVENT, which we have talked about separately... and then only because I was so triggered.
I think a good T will not push you, and will help you as you struggle through telling him. My T always lets me know that I should not be surprised if I have an increase in anxiety or PTSD symptoms after I disclose something to her.
I am so sorry for everything that has happened to you. Thank you for sharing.
