I have been seeing my T for about 3 months now and a couple of weeks ago we had a breakthrough on my younger years and we are working through that and a couple other things right now.

I have these thoughts/memories/issues that I really need to let her know about but I can't even speak the words, write the words, let alone tell someone right now. I know she needs to know and it could benefit me if she knew. I'm also sure she has probably heard worse. (looked up all her credentials, woman is amazing).

Where do you start? How do you do it? When should I? Should I tell her now or wait til I'm done with the first part of our work?

Meh.

I try to pick what is bothering me the most and say just a little to "test the waters". I feel like there aren't parts to my work - we are all over the place depending on what issues are affecting me. I think you just have to make the decision you are going to tell her ____ and go with it maybe even telling her upfront that there's somethign you are going to try to tell her.
Thanks for this!

I told him there was stuff that was horrible for me and I didn't know how to say it and we spent a lot of time talking about talking about.
Thanks for this!

Much like MKAC, if I say there's something I want to talk about, but don't know how or am afraid, my T and I start by exploring why it's hard to talk about. That often helps a lot with actually being able to talk about the THING, whatever it is.
