Talking about the pain, can be like tearing off the scab on a wound that was healing, or re-breaking a bone that didn't quite heal right. It can hurt worse, because it has been cooking in a pressure cooker for years.
Even if you don't want to talk about it here, journal about it, write it till you can't write no more. Do it when you're ready. Then bring it with you when you go to your therapist. Sometimes it helps to have a record of how you feel, or felt during and after a session. Sometimes it helps if you are on a roll, to release some of the stuff you talked about with you Therapist, or at least release some of the pressure. Because as your outlook changes, you can see it in your writing. That in itself can be very healing.
I would encourage you to find a massage therapist or energy worker that can work with you as well. To help move some of that out of the body, especially if it has been cooking for a while.

Good Luck! Hug a cat, if they let you anyway.
