Yes I have. In great detail. My defense was to tell it in a totally non-emotional tone as if I were reciting the weather. That worked for years until my T and pdoc encouraged me to talk about it with my feelings instead of my head. So it's not so hard to distance myself anymore, but it's more helpful.
Tell your T that you have things you can't get out of your head. Maybe that will push him/her to help draw out of you what feels safe telling. Or write it down as PC suggested.
For your healing, it's important to let the secrets out, but what's crucial is that you feel safe with this person, safe enough to trust them w/your private feelings. Do you feel safe enough with your T? Because intense feelings can arise afterwards and you have to have a safe place to deal with them.
Ask anything you want of me. I'm here to help, as are so many other babblers who have unfortunately had to go through this.
