Maybe if you talk around it, some precise words about exactly what happened will slip out too.

And just know you are not alone in this, so many people here have described the agony of trying to get something out while in session.
In order for my T to make any kind of sense of what I need to say I have to be pretty specific and that's where the problem is. I've spent the last few hours breaking it down into single words and only one seems to be sticking. It won't leave my head, hopefully next session I can tell her, even though it won't make any sense to her.

I need a practice run. Or 5.
