Welcome! Your first post sounds just like my first post and here I am still dealing with it months later. It's so scary to expose your vulnerabilities. We all spent lifetimes stuffing and hiding our real issues. You could begin by saying that you have difficult things to say and don't know how to begin. You could have several sessions just exploring your reservations about revealing yourself. Then, your T could maybe gently guide you. Sometimes when I would do this the real issues just started coming out without planning. I hope you'll be able to do this in person rather than email because they are trained to read your body language and non-verbal cues. Plus, it will help you connect and feel closer.
Good luck.
