I say "I just can't talk about that" almost every session! So don't feel bad about it. I think you'll know when the right time for you is. I am overwhelmed as it is, so I think to talk about these other things now would push me over the edge and I wouldn't be safe. My T tells me that she's still going to ask me about it often (and she does) but I am always free to say "not today" (and I definitely DO!!). But most of the time when she asks, I am able to give just a tiny bit more than before. So she's slowly getting the puzzle put together w/o overwhelming me.
Don't be afraid to tell your T you aren't ready!!! You are still the boss of you and you don't have to do anything you don't want.
