She respected that and we went on working together for years until one day it just came out and I started working on dealing with it. I know it's a little different situation with you, but again you can tell the therapist that you don't want to go over a long history and just want to touch on important things and move on to today's/current issues.
yes! Important if you have a history of abuse/trauma.
Good thought, Leia! I have done this!
