How to talk to my therapist?

I am really struggling with this. I want to tell my therapist what my ex boyfriend did to me. I already checked (as subtlety as I could) that it would be kept confidential. I just can't seem to start talking to her about it. We have only had 1 fully individual session with her, and we just talked about my friends and all my problems with that. She doesn't know about the nightmares or anything....

just hint when your talking that your dreams are linked to how you act daily

It takes a while to warm up and trust a therapist... if you feel like you can tell her, then do it.

You just have to tell her slowly. Go ahead and play hardball. Be like  "I have to tell you something" say it slow or fast if you want. That what you have to do if you want it known that what I had to do. Though I still feel no better

No don't write down any notes. Just slowly come out with it. You have a whole hour usually with them. So cmon

I think the note writing is one good idea.  Also, keep in mind therapy is not usually a short term thing.  When you bring up easy things to talk about you will become more comfortable with her.  Then you may find it easier to talk to her about more personal things.  Nothing you tell her will surprise her or be something she hasn't heard before.

What do you mean "we" have only had on session with her?  Do you go with someone else?

Please pm me if you want to talk.
good luck.  glad you're getting therapy.
