Mair,
I've been seeing my therapist for 1 1/2 years and I still talk around things. I'm not a blurter. My therapist is okay with going slow, and with backing off when I ask her to. She knows I keep secrets, but she also knows that if she gives it enough time, I'll reveal enough bits that I let some of it out.
Keep in mind that I have trust issues, it's nothing to do with my therapist, it's to do with what I don't like to talk about. So I've backed myself into that corner many times.
Maybe you can see your therapist for one more session, just to talk about the letter? And that you'll talk about the forbidden topic, if and when you're ready to? You need some time to escape from that corner to a place where you don't feel trapped, rather than force yourself to blurt or run.
Take care.
