I've been in therapy a long time with the same therapist. It took me a year not to have totally silent session. All he had to do was say, "hi," and I would withdraw into my self (dissociate). I journaled a lot and was majoring in counseling, so I had lots of people to process with. But, when I returned to therapy after a five year break. I journaled all the time and began reading it to him including my abusive past that was emerging. I suggest starting by reading whatever you can that you posted here. Try to be in the present of where you are at and talk about that.
