Well here's another thought then, what about talking about your feelings about talking about it? Like, "I'm not sure if I'm ready to talk about this subject but I noticed it's making me feel shame and I am struggling."

You don't even have to tell him what it's about. Just seems like you are going through a lot of emotions here which therapy is supposed to be exactly the place for discussing.
