We are going to try working through a less triggering trauma that does not involve talking about sexual details using Prolonged exposure therapy first. I asked him if we could start with the easier stuff, and slowly work our way to the harder things to talk about.
This will give me a chance to see if the therapy works, and if I can get comfortable enough to trust him.
