Part of me thinks this is bullshit. But the other part says it's not.
For me, its always been easiest to talk to strangers.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I was the same, and I couldn't talk about anything serious to anyone. I literally couldn't speak. I'll tell you what it's been like for me, and hopefully it can work for you too. I told things online first, posting on anonymous forums. It sounded so weird to say things in words, even in my head. Soon these narratives of my life turned into scripts that I could almost recite without feeling the emotional impact of. That made it easier to say. I didn't really get counselling for everything that's happened to me. But it was the online wording, and the talking in my mind that gave me practice for saying anything out aloud, vocally. When you put things into words, it becomes easier to re-say, than to construct the sentences on the spot, in an intimidating situation. I had a few people that I felt somewhat closer to in real life. I didn't tell them things, but I would pretend to tell them. I'd say it in my head. Visualise the feeling of saying it. Again, this is like practice, and it gets you used to saying it to someone. Another thing is that I find really painful memories are hard to say because even if you've already worded it, it doesn't buffer you from the emotional effects so you feel like you're gonna fall apart. I begun by saying things indirectly, hinting at things. I didn't do this deliberately, but I found that talking about things indirectly was just easier and I tended to do that. I minimised problems when I talked about them, and I talked around things. Therapists are (hopefully) sensitive to picking that up, and slowly you can work towards being direct about your issues.
I hope that helps. Feel free to PM me and let me know how it goes, or if it doesn't help we can work something else out. Good luck.
