Hi Meg, this sounds really difficult for you, and you are really not alone. One of the ways you could test the water is by saying to you therapist that there are things on your mind that you aren't ready to tell him at the moment, but are imortant to you. If he earns a little more of your trust through his reaction to this, you could reveal a little bit more.
You don't need to tell everything all at once, baby steps are all we can manage sometimes. And in truth, you don't *need* to tell him at all, it is totally your choice. And if he doen't feel like the right person to tell then maybe you could try another therapist. It takes alot of courage to say those difficult things, but you can't progress without it.
