I totally understand being able to share faster with a second T once you’ve shared before. I shared much earlier on with my previous T than I did with a past T with whom I shared some trauma. It seems to get easier as it’s repeated, but I guess maybe that’s the point. I think where it’s difficult is when someone has a bad experience with a T and it makes it hard to trust again. I feel like I’m somewhere in the middle because he was a great T for many years before things got weird. I guess it’s a little similar to your situation with ex-MC in a way, as it made you anxious after sharing with your current T because you were afraid he’d have the same reaction in the end. Although I could be way off.

I used to write things down for my previous T. It’s always a good idea, but I don’t think I’m ready for that yet with this T. She’s definitely trying to get some general ideas of what’s happened—I basically told her I had a bad experience with my last T. She wanted to know the ages when I had trauma, but I just couldn’t bring myself to say it. I just kind of gave a vague response like “some of it happened before middle school” and “there were multiple things.” Idk why it’s so difficult.
